Re: Finding reason for high temp storage maximum

I tried using iSeries Navigator, Work Management, Active Jobs, View, 
Customize this view, Columns, but temporary storage was not in the 
selection list.  Bummer.

Hi Oliver

We have lots problems with these sort of jobs, so I wrote this - 
http://www.dbg400.net/download/extras/CHKTMPSTG.txt - to help pinpoint 
them. It's a simple RPGLE program that lists jobs using over 50Mb temp 
storage. I've put in a background job[1] now, that automatically holds 
jobs using over a preset amount of temp storage, as we had a rogue SQL 
job use over 30Gb recently (which did push us over 90% DASD). 

Regards, Martin
[1] Takes snapshots every so long and monitors overall DASD usage, 
increase in DASD and current temp storage per job, sending warnings to 
nominated users when preset thresholds are exceeeded. If anyone's 
interested I could bundle it up sometime.
