AS/400 SAVCHGOBJ & Xe

Hello list:

I have a question that is in regard to the post on the evolution of JDE

for S/36 to Xe.

My Platform is AS/400 V4R4 (Georgia and Arkansas -- see below).

We just converted our operation in Georgia from O/W to Xe. Now the
SAVCHGOBJ does not pick up much of anything on the nightly backup. For
instance the F0911 on a WRKOBJ shows no changes (Georgia's Xe only).
However the DSPFD shows records were changed within seconds of the
execution of the DSPFD F0911 *MBRLIST.

It looks as if Xe is using outboard processes (i.e. ODBC or whatever) to perform the maintenance and since a process access group (PAG) is _not_ being used the WRKOBJ does not show any changes being made. Therefore the SAVCHGOBJ fails to include the F0911 in the nightly backup.

This is what is happening and what the AS/400 is reporting in Georgia
with Xe.

The SAVCHGOBJ worked with O/W in Georgia before the upgrade and World
Vision in Arkansas.


TIA (Thanks in advance),

Fred

PS

Originally posted to OWDEV list, however, Zoltßn was kind enough to direct me to this forum. Since we went live on Monday, 20AUG01, our backup strategy was blown. Any help would be appreciated.

We are currently making a native language program to insure all of the files in production have a "no change" update-in-place so as to flag the file for a SAVCHGOBJ candidate. We can't back up the entire library with all the access paths because of time constraints.

Fred,

Did you change the Save Active(SAVACT) parameter for SAVCHGOBJ command?
