RE: Unload/Reload and directory /tmp

["Evan Harris" <spanner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rob

Why not simply create a script to set things how you want them ?

I find this approach useful as even when I am building a machine from
scratch as opposed to restoring the machine it ends up in the state I expect
it to be.

Subject: Unload/Reload and directory /tmp

If you do an unload/reload from one machine to another there are certain 
directories in the IFS that a full system save (GO SAVE 21) will not save. 
 Among them is /tmp.  That will get created on the new machine. 
Unfortunately, if you turned off the "Restrict rename and unlink" on the 
source machine you will not automatically have that on the target machine. 
 You will have to change that manually on the target machine.  Failure to 
do so has often been the source of email not going out as YOU create an 
email and QTCP tries to delete the little file used in emailing and 
cannot.  Giving QTCP *ALLOBJ and various other God like authorities is not 
only a bad idea, but ineffective.  They still are unable to do that 
without that attribute turned off.

You will see messages in QMSF similar to:
TCP5104-Integrated File System file unlink failed.  The RTCP function 
requires the use of an Integrated File System file whose name is 
/TMP/EMHDR887.TXT.
After you change the attribute attempt STRMSF MSGOPT(*RESUME)

I am submitting a document change to IBM that they document this in the 
recovery section of the Backup and Recovery Guide.
