Re: v6r1 strobjcvn

Odd. We've done several V6R1 upgrades on large SAP partitions where we
have run STROBJCVN *ALL with no problems. The job ran for around 8 hours
with a couple CPUs assigned and about 32GB memory across 5TB systems.

WHat I've not checked is the number of program objects. Perhaps we have
far fewer than you?

v6r1 strobjcvn






I am running a STROBJCVN right now during a V5R4 to V6R1 upgrade on a
9408-M25-5634.
I wrote a utility that used an api to extract every "user" library on the
system and submit off a job.
ie
SBMJOB CMD(STROBJCVN LIB(&mylib) ) JOB(&mylib) JOBQ(ROB/STROBJCVN)
At first I had that job queue as *nomax. Then I started running into some

strange aborts. I suspect it had something to do with a thousand or so
jobs beating the snot out of one output queue. Throttling that down to 25

or so jobs at a time stopped the strange aborts.

Do not do a STROBJCVN LIB(*ALL). That will probably abort due to the
sheer number of spool files created and deleted. Each job will have a FIN

spool file for each object in each library. Me, I wouldn't have opened a
spool file until needed (USROPN). Or, if they're doing something silly
like displaying an object to a spool file and copying that to a disk file
(instead of using an API) that would really rile me. IBM feels the
workaround of separate jobs for each library is sufficient.

Several of my larger program libraries are all that's left. They've been
'active' since around 11:30. It's going on 5pm.
