Re: Disk Space - Notes Mail Question - how to regain disk space

Gail,

RCLSTG is an AS/400-centric fix-me-up program that does many things,
including finding lost space, orphaned objects and fixes the
interrelationship between objects.  It should have no effect on Notes.
Notes (to my understanding) does a daily compress on the 400.  You need to
do this manually on your client PC's.

I have never run RCLSTG but was told all 400 shops should do so
periodically.
No one could tell me why.

Though I can't say that RCLSTG (reclaim storage) will not regain some disk
space, I'd be upset to learn that it was useful on a regular basis for
Notes
storage. RCLSTG is an extreme measure to be used only when necessary.

I think IBM made a mistake when naming this command. It seems too many
people
get the idea that it's actually useful on a regular basis such as weekly.
In my
experience, if a site finds regular RCLSTG to be useful, there is is
something
going very wrong in the system.
