RE: Preventative Maintenance For AS400

I work at a large (8 systems/23 partitions) iSeries datacenter and they have
not done a RCLSTG in well over 10 years.
They simply say that they can't be down that long.  They also feel that
since they replace machines on about 3 year cycles they are never that over
due for the cleanup.  I'm not totally in agreement but they run OK.  I if
you run RTVDSKINF then PRTDSKINF *SYS look down the report for the line
'Storage affected by RCLSTG'.  It should show the impact of objects to
recover/cleanup.

subject: Preventative Maintenance For AS400

 I am an NT native that admins an AS400 on the side.  I have done so for
several years now.  I am hoping other admins can share with me what
preventative measures should be used to protect the performance of the
system.



I am aware of "RCLSTG SELECT(*DBXREF)".  All suggestions are appreciated.



Thanks
