Re: Duplicate Files in QUSRSYS

Yes, well, the folks at IBM support tell me that dealing with duplicate
files (even though they are system files) is a customer issue and if I want
IBM to help with them it is a billable exercise. Since they are not causing
an immediate problem (and haven't for over 7 years through one OS upgrade
and many many PTF installs), with budgets the way they are, I can't see
that happening. I would still like to see your solution though...

therefore, as not to lead you astray, I will not share those steps. You
are running 7.1, right? You should have IBM support. I suggest calling
them at (in the states) 800-IBM-SERV and opening a ticket. Me, I prefer
opening the incident on their website at

Rob,

Thanks for the link. While it does discuss the duplicate file names, I'm
not getting CPI9A9C errors. I also do not have a backup tape that does not
have the duplicate files on it. This issue goes back to at least 2005, in
some cases longer.

We recently upgraded our system from V5R4 to V7R1. Prior to the upgrade
while deleting unneeded licensed programs we ran into a problem. While
resolving that problem we discovered we have several (just over 300)
duplicate files in QUSRSYS (and perhaps elsewhere). These are files that
end in a number such as 0001, 0002, etc.



Many of these files date from 2005, which was when we upgraded to new
hardware. It most likely happened when we restored saved data from our

old

system. Every file name starts with a Q, so they are not files we

created

(at least knowingly, they could have come from configuring various

system

functions such as TCP, SMTP, etc.)



Has anyone else run into this issue? If so, how did you clean them up?
I’ve
been led to believe by IBM support that I cannot just delete them, but
they
seem reluctant to give me any methods for removing them. On the other
hand,
they don’t seem to be causing any problems, but I would like to clean

them

up.


Thanks for any help or suggestions.
