Thanks, Richard. Been on vacation, logging onto Notes from home, and was simply too lazy to logon to MAINT and check the z/VM 510 SYSPROF EXEC (the previous VM we were running just barely over a year ago was VM/ESA 240). I did not check the SYSPROF EXEC when we upgraded from VM/ESA 240, but it looks like we can now yank a line from our PROFCMS EXEC! ;-)

We used to have a GLOBALV INIT in our routine that acquires our Tools disk. I took it out some time ago when I was pleasantly surprised to see that IBM had fixed that flaw in SYSPROF.

That came as a surprise to me in the mid-1980's when a developer reported that their LASTING GLOBALV and even SESSION GLOBALVs were not being cleared. I solved that here by installing a local "PROFCMS EXEC", which is called from all our supported (i.e.: remove it an you are unsupported here) user's PROFILE EXECs. That keep most of our local requirements out of SYSPROF EXEC, where changes at release boundaries have sometimes proved to be challenging.

For them not to be cleared, could there be undisplayed characters making them unique? An Explicit GLOBALV INIT should also clear the duplicates. Other than that, the duplicates could be being created by the SQL SVM itself in some sort of loop. Jim -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Zell Sent: Thursday, December 21, 2006 2:02 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Huge LASTING GLOBALV file for DB/2 servers We are running DB/2 for VM 7.4 on z/VM 4.4 at service level 0501. Today I noticed that the LASTING GLOBALV file on all three of my servers is HUGE. (SQLPROD's is 47,000+ lines and 276 blocks) It is full of the same settings over and over again. For example: SQL/DS "DBNAME"SQLPROD SQL/DS "RELEASE;7.4.0 SQL/DS "WORKUNIT"YES SQL/DS "QRYBLKSIZE"8 SQL/DS "PROTOCOL"AUTO In the PROFILE EXEC of the machine, we do SQLINIT DBNAME(SQLPROD) PROTOCOL(AUTO) which I understand will set up these variable in LASTING GLOBALV. This particular virtual machine is shut down each night before 2nd shift and logged off and then back on so the PROFILE and SQLINIT do get executed at least once a day. In looking at the LASTING GLOBALV file, there are many lines with SQL/DS "RELEASE;7.1.0 and SQL/DS "RELEASE;7.4.0 so that tells me this has been going on a long time and I am just now noticing it. We did convert from 7.1 to 7.4 in October of 2006 but it appears to have been growing like this since we installed z/VM 4.4 back in October of 2005 (although I can't be certain). Has anyone else seen something similar to this by chance? I am wondering if this is related to SQLINIT and is a DB/2 problem or if it is a problem with GLOBALV ... SETP. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks. Ed Zell Illinois Mutual Life Insurance (309) 674-8255 x-107 .
