RE: What is the IBM Director job QCPMGTAGT doing that needs 20% of my CPU?

["Jeff Crosby" <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've currently got a PMR open with Supportline on IBM Director.

Every so often, randomly, the license.key and license.key_bak files
disappear.  IBM can't figure out why.  Object auditing shows QCPMGTSVR job
is deleting the license.key.bak file.  Might happen on an almost daily basis
or it might not happen for weeks.

Since they can't figure anything out, they decided it must be BRMS fault
when bringing the system to a restricted state for backup.  I was instructed
to use the BRMS exit program and do an ENDTCPSVR(*DIRECTOR) at the start,
before TCPIP is ended.

Never mind it worked flawlessly on V5R4 and the problem only commenced with
V6R1.
