Cloud Storage Solutions administration notes
Before administering Cloud Storage Solutions, read the following warnings and best practices.
- After upgrade, re-enter existing resource user IDs and passwords
- In Cloud Storage Solutions version 1.2, the encryption of resource user names and passwords has been enhanced. If you upgrade from version 1.1 to version 1.2, after you upgrade you must edit each existing resource and re-enter the user ID and password. If you do not re-enter this information you cannot copy file using the resource.
- Do not cancel the QICCJOBMON and QICCEXTPRC jobs
-
The QICCJOBMON and QICCEXTPRC jobs must always be running in the Cloud Storage Solutions subsystem (QICCSBS). They are critical to maintaining and publishing accurate Cloud Storage Solutions data. The QICCJOBMON (job monitor) job monitors file transfers and maintains accurate information in the database. The QICCEXTPRC (exit processor) job sends database information to the Cloud Storage Solutions exit point.
These jobs start when the QICCSBS subsystem starts and end in an orderly way when that subsystem stops.
- Small TCP/IP buffers and high network traffic on an IBM i computer affect FTP transfer speeds
- If your FTP file copies are slow, check the TCP/IP send and receive buffer sizes on the host IBM i computer using the CHGTCPA command. These default buffer sizes are both 65535, but they can be changed by a system administrator to manage network traffic to and from the computer. Small buffers or high network traffic affect transfer speeds to and from FTP cloud resources.
