RE: The RCLSTG mystery...

[Neil Palmer <NeilP@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Does various tasks like:
Clean up/collect "orphaned" objects into library QRCL  (after running 
you need to check and delete/move stuff)
Fix up objects incompletely updated due to power failure, abnormal job 
termination (crash, ENDJOBABN command, etc)
Fix up incorrect object ownership info in user profiles

Check the command HELP for more details.

One way to check for an estimate of storage it may free up is to tun 
RTVDSKINF (can be long running, submit to batch, doesn't require 
dedicated system but best to schedule during period of low activity).
When the command completes use PRTDSKINF *SYS
Near bottom of page 3 look for:
 Storage affected by RCLSTG                               .00 
               .02

What does RCLSTG accomplish, and is there a method to predict it's
outcome?

My current contract is for a conversion, and the machine at the 
customers
site is a little thin.  We are desperately seeking ways to squeeze 
every
cycle out of the 510 we can.  We are even splitting the data a minimum 
of
three ways, delaying the last two until a later point in time.

Back when I was a 'regular employee' - managing technical services, I
would perform RCLSTG once a quarter religiously and the following day, 
the
system would scream.  I know the docs claim the command is really 
suited
for damage caused by a power-outage, but I could never associate the 
two
(although a power-outage gave me a good excuse to schedule RCLSTG).

I would also like to know if there is any way to predict how much good 
the
RCLSTG will do.

Thanks in advance for your comments......

Dan Rasch - because if the human species concentrated on the really
important things in life, there would be a shortage of fishing poles!
