RE: What can I uninstall?

["Mark A. Manske" <mmanske@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

David,

IMHO I would not remove any of those products -

If you need space, here is where I would start:
Developer libraries (any test files no longer needed, copies of
programs, display files and the like that are not being used)

Production libraries (dead files, dead programs, re-org files with many
deleted records, back off to tape and remove records of old information,
if you have people creating backups of files, see if they can live with
them on tape, if you have any canned packages - see if you can remove
install libraries/upgrade patches)
PTF libs can be removed (if you are receiving auto ptf's - once they have
been loaded and applied).
Check you IFS too - you could have large "PC files" eating up a lot of
space.

What we have done here too is to dump object descriptions to see what the
hog files are, and then also to see what objects have not been used in a
year - or more,
and clean them off too.  We too have been very tight at times - in fact a
week ago I noticed
we where at 85%, and after riding a few people and cleaning off the things I
have mentioned
above, we are now at 67%, and tomorrow I am meeting with a user that will
drop this by
at least another 3%-5%.

Subject: What can I uninstall?


I'm looking to free up some disk space.

I use CAE for terminal emulation and CodeEdit (along with CodeBrws,
CodeDsu, etc) and the debugger.

In my list of installed programs, I have the following:
IBM AS/400 Client Access Express for Windows
IBM Community Tools for eServer
IBM Developer Kit, Java(tm) 2 Tech. Edition, 1.2.2
IBM Distributed Debugger
IBM WDT400 V5R1M0
IBM WebSphere Studio Pro v3.5.3
VisualAge for Java for Windows

Can I get rid of the developer kit?  What about WebSphere Studio and
VisualAge?

I'm NOT going to be converting our software to Windows (Not the AS/400
stuff anyway), so I'm guessing these would be okay to remove while still
leaving the ability to run CodeEdit, CodeDSU, CodeProj, debugger, etc?

Anyone?
