IBM ARE (Application Runtime Expert) should flag the directory /QIBM/UserData/ARE/ibmare/logs with ATR(*ALWSAV) VALUE(*NO)

IBM traditionally flags log directories with ATR(*ALWSAV) VALUE(*NO) since save while active of IFS data is a sick joke. This helps to avoid messages like these CPFA09E/CPD384E messages: Object in use. Object is /QIBM/UserData/ARE/ibmare/logs/error_log.Q122110100. Cannot open object /QIBM/UserData/ARE/ibmare/logs/error_log.Q122110100. Object in use. Object is /QIBM/UserData/ARE/ibmare/logs/plugin.log. Cannot open object /QIBM/UserData/ARE/ibmare/logs/plugin.log. This flags an error in BRMS while the CPD37C3 messages like the following do not: Message . . . . : Cannot save /QIBM/UserData/OS400/ResourceMonitoringControl/var/dev/SRC-unix/EXEC000069 Cause . . . . . : The ALWSAV attribute on /QIBM/UserData/OS400/ResourceMonitoringControl/var/dev/SRC-unix/EXEC000069 was set to *NO preventing the object from being saved. Failure to flag the directory with ATR(*ALWSAV) VALUE(*NO) results in these summary messages: CPF3837: 153382 objects saved. 2 not saved. BRM14A1: Save of list *LINK completed with errors. Work around is to add the directory '/QIBM/UserData/ARE/ibmare/logs' to QLNKOMT with WRKLBRM
