RE: Housekeeping

Rob,

Just curious, your IFS is 68% of your system, libraries are only 6%. What apps are taking that much IFS %.

The first thing you should do is determine where the space is eaten up. If spool files take up .013% of your disk space you're probably not going to get a whole lot of space back by cleaning those up. To determine where the disk space is used submit a job (submit it, do NOT run it interactively!). The command you will submit is RTVDSKINF. This will take a few hours. When that is done run PRTDSKINF *SYS. It should look something like:
% of Size in
Description Disk 1,000,000 bytes
User libraries 6.44 151340.37
User directories 68.42 1607040.63
Folders and documents .00 .11
QSYS .10 2384.74
Other IBM libraries .41 9658.79
Licensed Internal Code .22 5055.52
Temporary space 1.26 29560.05
Unused space 23.14 543542.55
System internal objects .02 432.98
Objects not in a library .00 .00
TOTAL 100.01 2349015.74

Where is a bulk of my space?


I like the following to look at library objects:
PRTDSKINF RPTTYPE(*LIB) OBJ(*ALL) MINSIZE(99000)

Hi All,

As a routine Housekeeping activity to clean the Disk space we do below
activities.

- Retrieved objects(Physical File )which occupies
more space and ask user
to delete the object which are no longer use by
them.

- Delete spool file which are no longer used by
them.

Apart from the above activities can we do more on Housekeeping.

please suggest.

John.
