You're correct that if maintenance hit my service directory /etc or /var it would update the live /etc or /var on the system I ran the APPLY on due to the symlinks. I didn't think that was an issue though (see #2 below). 1) Other than the RESTORE job documentation that states it converts /etc and /var to symlinks, I can't find another reference to changing them back and forth for maintenance / cloning etc. Can you point me to where this is documented. 2) I didn't think IBM ever serviced /etc or /var via maintenance. John Eells or Marna Walle (if you are lurking), can you comment on #2?
