RE: Doing remote journals to the cloud

Main Campus Parking use to use an AS/400 but I don't think they do anymore. Nice idea. Main Campus uses a VM machine which all the other branches also use for most admin work. We are a bit of a different beast in the Penn State world being a totally independent college. I think I might ask their IT office if anyone does or if I go the hourly FTP route just give me some disk space on one of their huge Sharks

Hey Mike,
Are there any IBM i's at main campus or the dozen or so other satellites that you could get a small lpar on for your remote journals? Wouldn't staying in the system be cheaper than using a 3rd party? I'm guessing Main has a real nice trunk ;)

All good points and all very hard to determine. Students love to suck up
bandwidth. When sending journals I would think it would only take a small
portion of this since the data is spread out over all day. And in a
disaster mode we could force everyone off and give the full pipe to
pulling down a days worth of journals or do it at 3:00 am. Always going to
depending on when the disaster would hit, time of year, needs to get back
up and up-to-date.

Does anyone ever get full use of their 250MB pipe? Or are there "class of
service" limitations? Like the voice I mentioned earlier. We can't have
voice transactions getting whacked because of a file download.

100 minutes on full use of a 250MB pipe (I think- it is early in the day
and my math brain may still be groggy)

Probably faster to overnight them. How fast could you download this?

DSPOBJD OBJ(#MXJRN/*ALL) OBJTYPE(*JRNRCV)
OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(QTEMP/JRNRCV)

SELECT sum(ODOBSZ)
FROM qtemp/jrnrcv
WHERE ODCDAT in('072511', '072611')

SUM ( ODOBSZ )
23,999,713,280
