Re: Best Practice Question

Um, maybe not “best practice “

Does any other application or LPP use /tmp? At least some of the LPPs use it. If lost you’ll loose several flight recorder type logs etc.

Keep recovery in mind with these things. If you know nothing in there is needed for forensic use OK, but be sure.

Definitely "best practices".

Just wondering if it would be considered a best practice to always exclude
the /TMP folder in the IFS for a regular backup of the system. This folder
is used by items of the OS and we had a customer where SNDSMTPEMM failed
when our product tried to send an email during their save.
