Re: RGZPFM mistake on a giant file at mid-day

[JFinney@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Joel,

I notice a couple of replies have more-than-adequately answered your
question. If I may add my 2 cents (South African).

We have a couple of what I like to call interceptor pgms. All they are, are
commands/pgms which sit at the top of the system libl and when an
operator/user/whoever types in WRKQRY from the command line, for instance,
the job priority is lowered to 30 (interactive) and the normal QSYS/WRKQRY
command is invoked.

What I'm getting at is, is there perhaps some use for this type of
"pre-validation" of files to be re-organized during office hours on live
libraries?

Just a thought

Regards
John.

Subject:  RGZPFM mistake on a giant file at mid-day




An operator ran RGZPFM on a giant file during a production day (with lots
of
logical files over it).

1)   Is there any way to recover?  Or our they out of business until
tomorrow?

2)   Is there an undo button where the RGZPFM can be ended and the file
and LF's restored to their prior state?

3)   Is there a way to monitor the progress of the RGZPFM which shows
estimated time of completion, which access path
     it is currently crunching on, and which paths can share other paths,
and how long each path will take?

4)   What sequence does it build the logicals in?  Is it creation
sequence?

5)   Does RGZPFM ensure that if a logical file can share the access path
of another logical, that it does indeed share it?
     Even if they were built in a different sequence years ago?



Thanks!!!

Title: RGZPFM mistake on a giant file at mid-day

An operator ran RGZPFM on a giant file during a production day (with lots of logical files over it).

1)      Is there any way to recover?  Or our they out of business until tomorrow?

2)      Is there an undo button where the RGZPFM can be ended and the file and LF's restored to their prior state?

3)      Is there a way to monitor the progress of the RGZPFM which shows estimated time of completion, which access path

        it is currently crunching on, and which paths can share other paths, and how long each path will take?

4)      What sequence does it build the logicals in?  Is it creation sequence? 

5)      Does RGZPFM ensure that if a logical file can share the access path of another logical, that it does indeed share it?

        Even if they were built in a different sequence years ago?

Thanks!!!
