.Although we would not recommend doing this...in 7.2 and above....if you create QTEMP/QSRPARFMT....it should work, since we now process the *ALLUSR differently in those releases. IBM I OS does not support *ALLUSR in parallel-parallel format so we have to get a list of libraries on the *ALLUSR.
So I'll mark this as delivered as that has been there awhile.
This is journal receiver library. Currently we give it a special name, #MXJRN, so that it gets restored before the data libraries. If we pull it out of *ALLUSR and append it so that we can do a parallel-parallel would the BRMS restore document tell us to restore it in the right order?
Rob,
I marked this as need more information...but wasn't sure the right category. First on your space....since you are using 4 parallel streams in serial....the behavior is correct...once the big library is put on a media set...when it spans to the next tape we need to use a new tape..we can't span to an append tape...this is not BRMS, it is standard label tape...so that is normal.
As to your question about doing parallel-parallel format on an *ALLUSR...that won't be wise as speading every library to 4 resources will do more damage than good. We would recommend that you pull out the big library from the *ALLUSR and just do parallel-parallel format on it...or there is a new control group attribute in 7.2 that sorts the library by size and does the bigger ones first...that might be the best method if you are at 7.2.
