RE: QDFTSVR job description question.

I'll just address one piece of this - keeping in mind I haven't had to deal with OS upgrades in years.

NEVER assume any IBM object is "safe" from changes during an upgrade.
I used to keep a CL program updated with any changes that were made (LOGLVL, PRTF, OUTQ, CMDDFT, etc.) and run that after every OS upgrade.

Subject: QDFTSVR job description question.

We have many QZDASOINIT and QRWTSRVR jobs by user QUSER using job
description QGPL/QDFTSVR. These create many many QPJOBLOG spool files each
day. Vary few of them have any true errors in them. I only want spool
files if something happens.
Would I be better off changing that job description or copying it and
changing the jobs/users to use the new one? Will be a lot easier to change
it. Being in QGPL I think it would be safe during our next upgrade.

I want a log if it fails but nothing if no errors.

It is currently set up like this.

Log CL program commands . . . . . . . . . . . . : *YES

Thinking of changing to this. Main reason I do get some level 40 saying
library already in library list.
