Re: remote 520 questions (more)

Both local and remote have QRETSVRSEC = '1'

Not changed by me or anybody else that I know of in last few months.

Interesting that you managed to get the error I have just by changing the
value to zero and I get it with value '1'.

Local QSECURITY = 40. remote QSECURITY = 30 I have no idea why local
security at 40 would negatively effect connecting to remote at 30.

Check out the security system values to be sure they are set right
(Assuming
you did not check those yet)

Beyond that we'd have to see logs to see what the precise error message
is.

I am assuming, based on only what I can see from a distance, that only
"easy" answer would be to replace multiple 4326 drives (four remain) with
4327s, if additional storage was needed. That wouldn't be my job either.
Just trying to be able to answer questions I know will be coming.

I looked at DDM. Both sides are configured the same. Same user profile
on
both systems. But, I don't know if some service part of DDM "there" lacks
authority to files that I only have due to a group profile connection.

Reload time.

Since the Cache is out it will take some "major minutes" to do. (read
many
hours)
2) IBM does not have an easy answer; the OEM product route is the
best, call Brad.
3) Unknown but a bit doubtful. My guess is you'll need to add some
storage, that's the bad news. Good news is for that usage it will be
cheap (assuming the HSL loop adapter is there)
4) I think Rob's earlier answer to this was accurate. It's most
likely the DDM attributes that are causing the problem, or the user
profile/password combination does not exist on both sides.

Subject: remote 520 questions (more)

I was asked mor questions.

As part of the (in)famous "decommissiong", we continue to find issues.
For example, I am looking at an output that has 171423 files. There
are other queues with a large number as well, but probably not as
many. Cache battery is gone.

Since we recently had cache battery and hard drive replaced on local
system, I feel confident (maybe foolishly?) that this isn't an issue,
but I was asked. If a remote drive craps out - it is in a RAID set,
is there any potential data loss? They are keeping things in output
queues because there is no alternative.

They need to keep the content, which brings up the related question,
and I am thinking no easy answer here. Remote is v5r3. Can the spool
files be converted to PDF? I am cringing at the thought of doing this
for 171423 or even 11,736 files. But, I have to ask. Does SPOOLTOOL
have this capability?

Due to large outques and I don't know how much actual junk, if
SPOOLTOOLS could do conversion to PDF (again, on v5r3 system), could
it be installed without pushing Dasd over the edge? System is at

88.5142
of 317.1G.

I created a user profile on local 520 (v5r4) with same user name and
password as my profile ob the remote system. Still could not open a
DDM file. Same error and reason code - 17. Maybe there is an exit
program involved, but command to look at exit programs has slipped
away from active memory. Maybe it is just file authority. My login
is tied to a group profile so when I sign on, I have needed authority
to access files. Maybe whatever job provides DDM service needs that
authority - if so, what profile is that?

I deeply appreciate your patience and assistance. This whole process
is rapidly approaching the looney stage.
