Title: (Paraphrase problem in a single statement)Offload option for 3590's

Detailed Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)

 

When offloading the Power Q there are Tape marks written between each entry.  This causes an offload to take 2 times longer on a 3590 device than 3480.  Would like to have an option to have some other type of seperator that would be more efficient on 3590's.

                                                                                             

Priority: (Select one: Urgent - High - Medium - Low) High

Requested Completion Date: (When? Examples: 3 months, 1 year, Next Release) Next Release

Requirement Type: (Select one: Acceptability - Compatibility/Migration - Ease of Use - Feature/Function - Performance - Reliability/Availability/Serviceability - Packaging - Interoperability)

Reliability/Availability/Serviceaility

Business Justification: (Why? Non-technical business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your company, and the vendor and others?  Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc.   Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)

 

It currently takes 3 - 4 hours to offload the power Lst Q.  This impacts production and the availability of the system.

Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a vendors ability to deliver a solution)

 

Provide an option on the offload command to have a seperator other than tapemarks.  

This will allow the command to function as is for customers who need the the tapemarks while allowing those who don't to benefit from the increased performance.

 

Impact: (Optional) (How will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)

 

Production stops while the offload is running, thus effecting business
