When you RGZPFM do you use the KEYFILE parameter?
Do you gather statistics using iNav to find out if certain indices should 
be built to enhance query (a generic term covering not only Query/400 but 
also SQL, OPNQRYF, etc) performance?
Do you have any constraints that are not "ESTABLISHED" and "*ENABLED"?
Do you check to see if any files are not journaled, that should be?
Do you have any logical files that say "Access path valid . . . . . . . . 
. . . :            No"?  For example, like the logical file I built over a 
physical file.  This logical file says unique but it's not unique in the 
physical.
How do you evaluate new files, or libraries, to see if they should be 
backed up, or added to your High Availability solution?

I'm not saying that a DBA should be a full time position on the i, but it 
should be part of someone's job description.
