Risky choice. What happens if the offloading job fails for some reason? You could lose all the accumulated data. >BTW: In your scenario you don't know how old data do you have! The data can be >rolled off depending on the amount, not depending on age. Do you expect your SMF data to be dumped more than 255 times a day? The key is to switch at midnight, consolidate, and then delete the day's dumps. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
