How do I determine the size of a library? A. There are several ways of obtaining library size, some of which I've covered in previous issues. Here they are, along with some new methods: a. One of the fastest ways to determine the size of a library is with the DSPLIB (Display Library) command: DSPLIB LIB(YOURLIB) OUTPUT(*PRINT) Specifying the OUTPUT(*PRINT) option is important because otherwise you get only the size of each object in the library. *PRINT not only gives you the size of each object, but at the end of the report it also shows the total library size, which is the sum of all the object sizes plus the size of the library (*LIB) object itself. You can also specify *ALLUSR or *ALL in place of the DSPLIB command's *LIB parameter to get the sizes of all non-IBM libraries or all system libraries. Be sure to run the job in batch if you use *ALLUSR or *ALL because executing DSPLIB with these values is too resource-intensive to be done interactively. b. On the command line, enter the following command: GO DISKTASKS Choose the option to Collect Disk Space Information and submit that job. When collection is complete, choose Print Disk Space Information from the DISKTASKS menu and choose to print only summary information. c. The October 18, 2000, issue of this newsletter included an item that shows how to use the RtvDskInf (Retrieve Disk Information) and PrtDskInf (Print Disk Information) commands to obtain library and object sizes. You can read that item at http://www.iseriesnetwork.com/resources/artarchive/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewarticle&CO_ContentID=10908&channel=art . d. IBM published CL program RTVLAPI that returns the library size and number of objects and also shows how to use the QLIRLIBD API within a CL program. You call RTVLAPI with the command line CALL RTVLAPI lib-name where lib-name is the name of the library. The following shows sample messages returned by RTVLAPI: Info for library CHUCK # of objects in library 0000000000 Library size 0000000089 Library size multiplier 0000000000 Size of all objects used in library size. You can download the CL program from http://www.iseriesnetwork.com/code/clubtechcode/rtvlapi.zip or copy the program from http://as400service.ibm.com/8625680A007CA5C6/0/C0CE14CE4349FAFF862567FB0071DF80?Open&Highlight=2,QLIRLIBD . e. A free library size utility is available from Tom Liotta at http://home.earthlink.net/~tliotta/Files/Show_Library_Size/Show_Library_Size_README.htm . The above tips were adapted from iSeries NEWS Tech Corner items by Jean-Jacques Risch and Julian Monypenny and from the IBM Knowledgebase. ************************* ADVERTISEMENT *************************: LAST CHANCE TO SAVE UP TO 30 PERCENT ON NEW RPG IV BOOK!

FREE WEB LOG ANALYSIS UTILITY Q. Does anyone know if there is a utility that can translate the ugly error logs that get produced by the IBM HTTP Server (Classic)? A. Analog is a free utility that analyzes log files from a variety of Web servers and produces attractive statistics, bar graphs, and pie charts. It runs on a variety of operating systems, including OS/400. You can download the two iSeries save files containing Analog from http://homepage1.nifty.com/uzaemon/#download . To learn more about Analog, visit the Analog Web site at http://www.analog.cx/ . You can also see sample Analog-generated reports at http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~sret1/stats/statsme.html . 2. LIMITING A USER TO ONE WORKSTATION AT A TIME Q: How can I limit a user to one workstation at a time? A: The system value QLMTDEVSSN (limit device sessions) determines whether a user profile can be signed on to more than one workstation simultaneously. A value of 0 allows a user profile to work at more than one workstation simultaneously. A value of 1 restricts the user profile to a single workstation device. QLMTDEVSSN cannot prevent users from sharing a single workstation with the user profile currently signed on. Sharing user profiles decreases the effectiveness of auditing users' activities. However, there are some situations in which sharing user profiles might be necessary, such as a retail operation in which clerks share sales-counter workstations. Signing on and off such terminals would be inconvenient and would cause the customer to wait. QLMTDEVSSN controls concurrent device sessions systemwide. However, you can override the QLMTDEVSSN system value at the user profile level with the user profile parameter LMTDEVSSN. Adapted from an iSeries NEWS article by Wayne Madden and Carol Woodbury. 3. CLASSIC TIPS Over the eighteen months I've produced this newsletter, I've noticed the same questions keep cropping up in the newsgroups and forums, even though they've been answered in the newsletter. (What, doesn't EVERYBODY read this newsletter?
