We've been running MAPICS for some time now and I never realized there was
this MPXJRN.  How should this be managed - automatically or manually?

Since you are running Mapics, are you performing Mapics backups?  If not I
would check the size of your Mapics journals/receivers (MPXJRN is the
journal name).

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. I've set RTVDSKINF to
run tonight at 8pm. I've never run it before so I won't have
anything to compare it to, but maybe something will stick out.

We only save 4 days of performance data, which when I deleted
3 days worth it got me .1% of space back.

We do run cleanup and keep the following:

Number of days to keep:
  User messages . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .   15            1-366,
*KEEP
  System and workstation messages . . . . . . . .   15            1-366,
*KEEP
  Job logs and other system output  . . . . . . .   30            1-366,
*KEEP
  System journals and system logs . . . . . . . .   30            1-366,
*KEEP
  OfficeVision for AS/400 calendar items  . . . .   0             1-366,
*KEEP
       (we don't use office vision)

Are we saving too much? What do you suggest for these options?

We also do a monthly IPL. In fact we just did one this Saturday.
I've never run RCLRSC or RCLSTG for that matter. We've had our
AS/400 (iSeries) since June 1999, and this is our first one.
We only use Mapics for our carbon paper business. Our steel rule
die business still runs our home-grown system on our VAX. Our
computer room did not implode when we put an AS/400 next to our
VAX!! I'm planning on doing a RCLSTG on some weekend in December.
Would it be better to do RCLRSC or RCLSTG? Or maybe both?

So needless to say I was kind of thrown on the thing without any
training (except in mapics) and everything I've learned over the
past 2 1/2 years has been out of necessity or from reading
the messages posted here. I did manage to get copies of "Control
Language Programming for the AS/400" and "Mastering the AS/400",
both which has been very helpful although I haven't had the time
to read through either of them. I've just picked out what I've
needed at the time I needed it. One of these days I'm going to
see if one of our local colleges has classes that I can take
after hours...

I'll stop rambling now & thanks again for all the help!
