    Hello *ALL,

    I found on IBM i PDi at view Physical Database I/O by Job or Task - Basic one job named "SMCHGPGWRITER‬". It sounds like WRITERs (printers and writers??)

    Does anyone have an idea what he means?

    Thanks

    SM = Storage Management CHG = Changed PGWRITER = Page writer

    This is nothing to do with printers. This system task is writing pages in memory that were read from disk and then changed (changed pages) back out to disk.
