Re: IFS Object Catalog

Did you happen to notice anything else in my last email about this? Like
the odds are slim to none that RTVDIRINF will tell you anything useful
regarding alwsav=no?

No, no other messages. And the directory is ALWSAV *YES.

I submitted the RTVDIRINF 3 hours ago. We millions of IFS objects so it
will run a while.

Again, keep in mind that if the directory is flagged that way the
individual files may not be, however they will still be skipped.

From my 7.3 RTVDIRINF
Select count(*) as NbrObjects, QEZSYSRSSV

group by QEZSYSRSSV;
1,017,386 flagged with 0
69 flagged with 1

Select qezobjnam, qezdiridx

So good luck with that.

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:

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.

See also:

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.
