We have to do a complete reload of our system in the very near future. I'm interested in hearing people's experiences/advice. We have a 9406-D45 with 2440 (no high-speed feature) 7.2GB (mirrored to 3.6) at approximately 85 percent. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have had to do numerous reloads, usually at the most inconvenient of times. If it is an option, look at the SAVSTG command. It will back up and reload your system faster than anything else. There are limitations to using this command (you cannot restore individual objects, just the entire system), so refer to the Backup and Recovery Guide.
If that isn't an option, I would recommend saving the access paths for your logical files. This doesn't cause much increase in time for the backup, but can drastically reduce the reload time. This is done in the SAVLIB *NONSYS section of your total system backup.
Business users want new applications now. Market and regulatory pressures require faster application updates and delivery into production. Your IBM i developers may be approaching retirement, and you see no sure way to fill their positions with experienced developers. In addition, you may be caught between maintaining your existing applications and the uncertainty of moving to something new.
IT managers hoping to find new IBM i talent are discovering that the pool of experienced RPG programmers and operators or administrators with intimate knowledge of the operating system and the applications that run on it is small. This begs the question: How will you manage the platform that supports such a big part of your business? This guide offers strategies and software suggestions to help you plan IT staffing and resources and smooth the transition after your AS/400 talent retires. Read on to learn:
