Re: AFI - Archive Data

Talking about space-saving in general, we have written a little routine
that re-orgs all files having deleted records in libraries OSLD1F3,
OSLGLF3, OSLPLF3, OSLSLF3. If anyone knows if this is not safe, can he/she
pls notify us? It seems to me having read somewhere that there are JBA
files that are linked by record number (?)
We have been running this routine weekly since 2 months and no problems
have been reported.

We also ran the standard JBA AFI purge utility on application OE 2 months
ago with more than 20,000,000 records in FIP45. Took some 3 hours to
complete. We first scheduled the purge in Machine Manager, but for a yet
unidentified reason, it didn't run, so we ran it manually. We will try
scheduling it again in the near future.

PS: It's VERY cold now in Mauritius as we are in winter (23-24 degrees
Celsius you know...) and the sandy beaches are still boringly white...
We had a 60% solar eclipse here but that was still very impressive.

You are most certainly correct...
This file was not on our hit-list when we created this routine simply
because it was not taking up that much space at the time...

We now have nearly 23,000 records in this file now so we will be revising
our routine to include this file in our purge...

Thanks for pointing out this file...

There are certainly other files in the applications that could be
similiarly purged on a periodic basis...
Does anyone else have any other suggestions for files for this list...?

Thanks.

PS - How is life on the beautiful isle of Mauritius...?

Were you able to see any of the recent solar eclipse...?

Should not FIP51 be cleared accordingly also? This is the AFI Session
Control  file.
