I do not get CPD37C3. I do get CPD3775 - Cannot save or restore
/home/gord/myfile2.txt and
CPC3715 - No objects saved, all objects were excluded

Neither message shows in DSPLOGBRM which implies that nothing has been
getting skipped. Bu I don't know now if I trust this.


I have bitten the bullet and submitted a RTVDIRINF.

So, on your existing 7.1 machine, if you have the following:
'/home/GORD'
'/home/GORD/myfile.txt'
'/home/GORD/myfile2.txt'
and you run
CHGATR OBJ('/home/GORD/myfile2.txt') ATR(*ALWSAV) VALUE(*NO)
SAV DEV('/QSYS.LIB/GORD.LIB/GORD.FILE') OBJ(('/home/GORD/*.txt'))
You do not get:
CPD37C3 - Cannot save /home/GORD/myfile2.txt.
Because if you do, then you can easily use that to see what has changed.

Rob, the point you are missing is that on 7.1 these objects are NOT being
flagged with the CPD37C3 message. This is why I am trying to find a way,
on 7.1, to find the objects with ALWSAV *NO.

We're talking a whole bunch of concepts and thoughts being jumbled
together.
1 - Flagging stuff in BRMS. I was not talking about this, and "link
omit
lists" in BRMS. No way, no how. I was talking solely about using
WRKLNKBRM to see when a particular directory/file was last backed up.
2 - Your BRMS backups will have messages like
Message ID . . . . . . . . : CPD37C3
Cannot save /QIBM/UserData/OS400/TCPIP/RAS/IKEV2SOCKET
The ALWSAV attribute on /QIBM/UserData/OS400/TCPIP/RAS/IKEV2SOCKET was
set
to *NO
DSPLOGBRM TYPE(*BKU) PERIOD((*AVAIL 032218))
BTW, that's a sev(0) message.

If you were doing a regular SAV command there's an option to have all
these messages go to a file to make it easier to process. I don't have
the inclination to figure out how to do this in BRMS.

These should appear in your joblog also. Many people are opposed to
change so they still have all their joblogs go to a spool file. I
changed
all ours to go to *PND and this allows me to query them using tools like
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/
wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/IBM%20i%20Technology%20Updates/
page/QSYS2.JOBLOG_INFO()%20UDTF

Here's an outside of the box thought...
If the directory is flagged as ALWSAV(*NO) and they feel the data is
expendable and shouldn't be saved, then shouldn't you go in and delete
all
those files that are over x days old? For example, if the directory
name
is .../logs... and it's flagged as ALWSAV(*NO) and there's 45,000 files
in
there might that give you back some space? At least since upgrading
from
7.1 you don't have to worry about these slowing down your saves or
taking
up tape space.

These aren't IBM directories. They are directories created within the
same
job as created the tiff document. The directory and 3 out of 4 objects
within the directory are ALWSAV(*YES).

Unless I find some current ones that are ALWSAV(*NO) I'm not going to
worry
about what happened 2 years ago. These were on our development
partition
so who knows.

I'm trying to find a quick way of finding anything in production that is
set incorrectly. Nothing is flagged in BRMS on the development
partition
prior to the upgrade to 7.3 so I know there won't be anything flagged in
production (which is still at 7.1).

Thanks,


Gord

Jim's right. Creating your directories and files in certain existing
IBM
directories is going to be trouble.

It's not like IBM spun the random wheel to flag a directory as
ALWSAV(*NO). They picked them on their intended contents, log files
for
example.

Be careful of just trying to change the IBM directories to
ALWSAV(*YES).
IBM has a history of setting IFS attributes at each IPL. Several of
us
had to give IBM a serious beat down to stop flagging /tmp with
CHGATR OBJ('/tmp') ATR(*RSTDRNMUNL) VALUE(*YES)
at every IPL as that immediately put a stop to email from working.
Maybe they've amended their ways and no longer do changes this way but
I
don't know about other directories and the ALWSAV option and how they
set
that. So it's something to be aware of.

No, normal tifs created from the i. One directory I looked at had 4
tifs
all created at the same time. 3 were ALWSAV *YES and one was *NO.
They
were created in 03/2017 so a little difficult to debug it now.

Since these have never been saved, I almost afraid to see what hasn't
been
saved in production.

Any chance these files were copied from the QNTC file system?

I've found that the ALWSAV attribute is *NO for IFS files copied
from
QTNC.
