I can easily convert the spool files to something in the IFS. Two
questions:

1) The LIC log, at 611 pages, seems a tad large. Maybe I used an
incorrect parameter or included too much by use of wrong parameter
value. Does this need to be corrected?

Seem a reasonable size, but hopefully that size suggests the data from the selected logs was included, rather than just the summary of all the entries; i.e. a listing of all LIC Log entries without any data can be somewhat informative [to see the pattern for each failure and what might have preceded the first or each occurrence; obviously the timestamps of the begin\end of each failure would need to be noted additionally], but the actual list of the thirteen logs [consistent each time?] *with data* across the time-span of the failure(s) is what is most desirable. Note: Review the spools for any /sensitive/ data, as some logs could include some actual data from the save; paging through the /eye-catcher/ data is generally able to be completed fairly quick.

I can not recall the means to get a summary-with-data over a specific date\time-range when spooling the LIC log data. I recall mostly, that there is a 6=print against that can produce a spool-with-data against each log; of course that is one spooled file per log.


2) Where can I send the files to allow others to see them?

Some people use dropbox; there are a variety of such places. Google docs should be an option as well, but I am unsure if there is a fully public access, or if authorization is made only to specific accounts [mine is my email I post with].


I appreciate your time, as well as explaining >why< multiple SAVs
don't trigger the same condition as GO SAVE >can<.

Allusion as to how possibly, not an explanation of why :-)


If I recall correctly (been well over ten years) applying cum will
almost certainly require an IPL to complete. So, no need to IPL
now >just< to clean up max unprotected.

Applying the cumulative [and HIPers] will indeed require an IPL [perhaps an additional implicit IPL to which there may be only limited visibility, most notably, that the system never appears available until completion of the final IPL].


The job log from this morning indicated a previous damaged condition.
Repairable via IOP reset. Wish I had thought that through and
performed OP reset last week when it happened. The commands are
obviously doing a lot more than is obvious, otherwise, it would seem
like a nice feature to fail at the start rather than after an hour.
Some functions just don't work that way.

I would expect that, given the required repair for the partial damage is vary-off and vary-on, the save would have failed quite nearly immediately upon start; I do not recall the GO SAVE opt-21 having any Vary Configuration requests coded. Additionally, a failure for reference to the /damaged/ device should have been explicitly about the reference to the previously-damaged object, not a condition diagnosing an issue for which the effect was damage; perhaps not a conspicuous difference to those less familiar, but trust that the difference is huge and an important distinction.


So, just need a destination for these files. Maybe problem is now
"fixed" merely by me performing a proper reset.

Your call on if, where, and to whom the data is made available. I am offering to look; not sure if anyone else would, and if not, I could look at them sent as email attachments [preferably named in a way that clarifies what each is; which incident and what type of data collection]

There is only a small chance I would be able to infer anything from the set of VLogs [they are atypical of what I have had to review in the past]. The recording in this discussion the list-summary [from each occurrence; or just one, and indication that they were the logs were the /same/ each time] would at least be valuable in comparison with any other incidents in which that minimal amount of information was recorded.
