The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
It's an anomaly that /tmp isn't deleted on PASE at IPL.
Probably because IBM themselves do tricky things when doing maintenance and debugging on a system that put stuff in /tmp
You do not want things in /tmp to be in the "exact state as it was at save time" because oddities such as fs links representing sockets are there while programs are running.
You do not want this.
Nothing should exist in /tmp that you cannot lose forever.
Never back up /tmp
