Re: CPI1468 - System job tables nearing capacity

Hi, Larry:

This is interesting ...

I found a good Redbook (Redpieces) book titled: "Best Practices for Managing IBM i Jobs and Output" -- REDP4454 at

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp4454.html?Open

I have a few questions about changing the system value QSPLFACN:

#1. if I change QSPLFACN to *DETACH, does it go into effect immediately for all subsequent jobs, or only after the next IPL?

#2. when I change QSPLFACN to *DETACH, does it retroactively detach all spool files from the many jobs that have already ended, or do I need to do some other "clean-up" tasks to clean them up and reclaim those old job table entries?

Thanks,

Mark

Glad you fixed the issue of course but may I ask why it would not work in your environment?
