RE: Back ups with High Availability Web Server

Jim,

Would journaling certain IFS directories reduce any IFS save issues (with or without SWA)?
Or would it just add more overhead and more to save.
When I currently journal PF, (Reorg While Active or troubleshooting an app) I normally keep the journal in the same library as the PF.
Where would you create a Jrn for the IFS?
Would there be one Jrn for the entire IFS?
I was reviewing the STRJRN help text, examples, etc.

Paul

I agree you only want to journal IFS objects you really need to journal.
Don't just journal the root, that would be bad.....

you can't journal the IFS.

I see that Jim O answered you on this.

Most of our IFS locked objects are system objects, log files, or
temporary files.

I would suggest
= System objects - use OMIT parameter to exclude from daily saves.
Requires trial and error to capture everything. Saving concurrent
with SAVSYS & IBM libs is probably an advised approach.

= Log files - IBM generated or user application generated?
How are the log files used? I'd likely omit as many of the log files
as possible because they are likely to be used for problem
determination and would be of little value when restoring an entire
system nor likely need to be restored due to an "oops"
event.

= Temporary files - My response is similar to log files for these.

Probably not an answer you want, but easy isn't conducive to minimal
downtime.
