Yeah sadly they wait until it is actually broken and customers are unable to use the product before the rush in a poorly designed and implemented solution to fix the problem. It's not like they've had any warning though, I mean a decade just isn't much time in the computer world!!

Surprisingly, some ERP vendors, like Epicore, still use DLO, and have no plans to shift to the IFS, at least as of last year.

Rob,

You have very advanced equipment and backup procedures most folks don't
have. Beside that the difference between seconds and two minutes is hardly
worth the effort to consider. On smaller systems with SAS attached tape,
you'll find a couple of minutes is more the norm. Unfortunately there are
software products that insist on using QDLS yet, and many of my customers
have hold over software from OfficeVision yet. So like it or not, we have
to back it up.

I too would leave QDLS as there are some system things.
We still have some carry over to delete but Jim was way overstating how long
it takes to save it.
It only takes 6 seconds to go from end of library save, through the QDLS
save and start the IFS save on our system. BRMS does a pretty good job of
logging stuff.

Agreed, I wish IBM would stop delivering it, however I would not delete
QDLS. That is a system supplied file system and it is used......

It should also be included in full system saves. It will only take a
minute
or two to backup assuming you don't put anything there.

I think so. I was ready to delete QDLS anyhow... useless. :)

Had the system initialization finished when you started working?

It sometimes takes a bit for all the system stuff to settle down.

I did a search for this and found an obscure page:

I tried what it said but no go.

Any ideas?
