Re: QDOC exceeded storage size

Adam -

I don't suppose that you are using an application called "POINT" are you?
We have a subsidiary who uses this application, and until I got them to quit
creating new "notepad entries" our DLO's were growing by about 2,000 per
week.  The limit is not size, it's number of documents and the (IBM stated)
maximum # of DLO's allowed in an ASP is 349,000.  The good news is that you
can safely exceed this without any problems and you can still save and
restore your documents (more or less) normally.  We currently have 861,160
objects in one ASP on one of our systems.

The bad news is that this will cause an error message that looks like this
"The object information repository (OIR) of the library is full and cannot
be extended to contain information for new objects..."  It sounds worse than
it is in that it doesn't actually hurt anything that I have been able to
determine other than my BRMS backups finish with errors so I have to  pays
close attention to verify my saves.

If you have a drive mapped to QDLS on your system you can right click and
check the properties for the number of files and folders and the size of
each individual folder.  I'll bet that it won't take too long to find the
offending folder.

If you need to keep the documents in this folder you can create new ASP and
restore that folder to the new ASP.  That will make the message go away.

Well, all the folders in wrkflr are used by AS/400 people.  Our insurance
application, we store "notepad" in there as well as office vision documents.
It is used heavily by the claims piece of our software.
