A save file can contain other save files, so here’s a method you can try. To keep it simple, let’s say you want to save the contents of two libraries–MYLIB1 and MYLIB2–to one save file–SOMELIB/SOMESAVF.

1. Create a save file for each library.

On March 5 of this year, I told you that one of your fellow subscribers, who asked not to be identified, sent me some performance tips that he hoped you might find useful. This is the second of them.

Here’s what he wrote: “Increase the journal receiver threshold to 6,500 MB.” So what does that mean? Let’s begin with the Create Journal Receiver command, CRTJRNRCV. This command has a THRESHOLD parameter that defaults to 1,500,000 KB, which is 1,500 MB. The threshold is the maximum size a journal receiver is allowed to reach before the system detaches the journal

There are three specific instances where System i administrator need to change the communications identity of an i5/OS box so that it impersonates another box and can take its place in the network. Unfortunately, there isn’t a readily available procedure to make sure that this process is easily accomplished. To help, this week and next I’m presenting a procedure for modifying a System i box to impersonate another machine.

Why Bother To Impersonate?

It’s handy to know how to modify a System i or iSeries box to impersonate another box in the following situations.

1. When purchasing a new machine to
