Re: Do I loose any queued up Data on Data Queue if system starts IPL

I would like to add to this.
There is risk if your EDI still active at start of PWRDWNSYS, in comm (ftp
or web service or ole/odbc, etc) cut off in the middle of a trans, or any
other program abnormally terminated, plus disk cache that is not yet
written. Yes, you will have what's in the queue on disk. At the point of
the
actual ipl starting, you EDI should not be active..
We have very active edi, do a careful shutdown of apps, then subsystems to
a
restricted state, then a PWRDWNSYS *CNTRLD with enough time for the OS to
flush the cache to disk.

Much like your output queues, the data continues to stay on your data
queues.

Hello Midrange Gurus,

Good Monday Morning to you.

I have an EDI system that keeps sending messages to a DataQueue.

What happens if our IBM i operator starts System IPL, when there is
unprocessed data sitting in our Data Queue ?

Do I loose the data or does it stay ?
