Re: Save to SAVF hangs

[Kirk Goins <kirkgoins@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry don't have the job status from wrkactjob when the job is hung.

The joblog shows it starting to save a lib and then nothing until the admin
trys end the job with *immed several hours later, which doesn't work. At
this point QHST shows all the objects saved. After the ENDJOBABN is issued
we get a message that the savefile is damaged.

They are not using SWA as they have ended QINTER, TCP etc. There is a
separate job that starts QINTER, TCP etc later well after the backup is
supposed to have finished.

These savf are cleared/created each day in a new lib, so there should be any
locks, I see if I can catch it when it is happening ( 2am yuck )

This process ran for a couple of weeks in testing on this HW and is code
from the previous system. WRKPRB and SST problem logs are clean
