The class you want from IBM is UV905.  It teaches how to deal with BLINK 
errors, the likely causes thereof, and the fact that not all BLINK errors are 
repairable - for example where the operating system disk utilities truncate 
your physical file.

Kindly send in inputs  (if any). No looser comments please


Sorry, but that's an unreasonable request. Phil made a valid point, and one 
of the reasons for having this list is for making comments - looser or 
otherwise.


To adequately answer your question would take pages of explanation, or a 
4-day course, which I'm sure IBM would be quite willing to offer.


There are many scenarios under which a spurious backward link (blink) can 
occur. Hardware errors, file handle problems, shared memory problems, poor 
application development practices, bad luck, lack of sysadmin/dba 
maintenance, someone using vi to edit a universe file, etcetera.


You probably need some expertise on this. I recommend hiring/contracting 
someone with that expertise. This subject is way beyond the "let's ask the 
user group" approach.
