I didn't do an offload-reload because I've heard too many horror stories about
corruption in spool files. A friend did an upgrade wth offload-reload and spent
most of the following week trying to recover from the damage. It never was
quite right and management just decided to deal with the loss.
--------------------------------<unsnip>-----------------------------
Spool Offload and Reload are MUCH better than they were years ago, and
cleaner. But you've absolutely
GOT to read and understand the parameters involved, or you might suffer
a data loss. That's where many,
if not most, users get into trouble with this facility.
We've used it many times, with nary a oroblem, when returning from DR
tests and doing the various "post mortems"
to see what we can do to improve the process. Worth its weight in
platinum. (Better than gold.) :-)
