RE: save while active v7r1 - *IBM and also SAV

With more people evaulating
CHGATR OBJ(...) ATR(*ALWSAV) VALUE(*NO)
I think it's important for vendors to strongly consider putting 'log' type
files into like subdirectories to allow the users the opportunity to
change that attribute even if you do not choose to follow IBM's lead and
change it that way on your own.

I assume that Power HA, since it works more by disk blocks (or whatever)
ignores such attributes?

I did the following on an lpar that is Mimixed to another system.
EDTF '/rob/a.txt'
entered something, hit F3.
appeared on remote machine
MD '/rob/nosave'
appeared on remote machine
CHGATR OBJ('/rob/nosave') ATR(*ALWSAV) VALUE(*NO)
remote machine says
Can be saved . . . . . . . . . . . . . : No
System restricts save . . . . . . . : No
EDTF '/rob/nosave/a.txt'
entered something, hit F3.
appeared on remote machine with
Can be saved . . . . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
System restricts save . . . . . . . : No
SAV DEV('/qsys.lib/rob.lib/rob.file') OBJ(('/rob/nosave/a.txt'))
1 objects saved.
and it shows up in dspsavf
SAV DEV('/qsys.lib/rob.lib/rob.file') OBJ(('/rob/nosave')) SUBTREE(*ALL)
1 objects not saved.
stops at the directory

However, if I try to manually sync the entire directory:
MIMIX/SYNCIFS OBJ(('/rob/nosave' *ALL)) SYS2(GDISYS2)
Cannot save /ROB/nosave.
1 objects not saved.
Save-while-active checkpoint processing complete.
No objects saved, all objects were excluded.
Object packaging failed for /ROB/nosave.
1 objects synchronized; 1 objects not synchronized.

If I do just the one file:
MIMIX/SYNCIFS OBJ(('/rob/nosave/a.txt' *ALL)) SYS2(GDISYS2) BATCH(*NO)
1 objects synchronized; 0 objects not synchronized.
