I've worked with up to 19 LPARs. >The migration to a new release, if in linklist only, would affect six lpars >and four datasharing groups at once. You weren't talking about migration to a new release, as far as I can tell. I was talking about day to day operations. >Given short migration windows, and the change in the DB2 catalog to unicode >between R710 and R810, I cannot migrate four production platforms in the >window, not to mention management would not accept a risk of that magnitude. > Yes. Migration is a different issue. But, how often do you migrate? Once you've completed that, why not leave the current version in the LNKLST. DB2 is designed for performance optimisation. Leaving STEP/JOB LIBs around (even if they're in LLA) is not necessarily a good thing. - 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
