Hi all; About 3 weeks ago we switched to LogWrite Fast in our PipeServ configuration files. Since then, most, if not all, of the affected PipeServers report PIPDSR120, notably at midnight and at restart. I speculate that it is the close process that triggers the message.
Nothing appears in the PipSrvLg's related to this. All but 2 servers write their logs to SFS. Of the two that write to minidisks, the one with LogWrite Fast exhibits the problem, and the one with LogWrite SAFE does not. Some of the current servers had been running for over 2 years with SAFE, and no related problems. To make things even more interesting one of today's PipSrvLg's is showing up with an LRecL of 62192 (sic!). RC 16 is documented as "Record format specified not the same as file." at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zvm/v5r3/index.jsp?topic=/com.i bm.zvm.v53.dmsa6/hcsd3b0050.htm. (I could not find SC24-5453 listed at http://www2.marist.edu/~pipeline/bhelp/AFH0404.html (PIP120E help). ) Does anyone have any advice or experience concerning the obvious options (LogWrite Slow, LogWrite Safe)? How much is LogWrite Fast saving us? How does it compare to SAFE and SLOW in real and CPU time savings? Does anyone know of any non-obvious options? Is this a known bug with a fix available? Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance. - Hobart --------------------------- Spooled Console ----------------------------------------------------- 00:00:00 HCPMID6001I TIME IS 00:00:00 EDT THURSDAY 09/04/08 PIPDSR120E Return code 16 from parameter list Vblockw 20080903 PIPSRVLG A6.
