hello, i need some feedback for a tool i would like to develop. background: the company i currently work for always had an AS400/iseries as their main computing capacity for the main business application like erp, hr, ... . over the time they switched to newer models but never "cleanly" migrated to the new models. so there is a lot of garbage on the current machine (890). also the maintaining staff of operators aren't that accurate when it comes to operating tasks. the result is that we got much stuff we really don't need and many misconfigured devices. i would like to clean up that mess and am considering the following checks: objects: has an object been used in the last xx days (through the list objects api) library: how many objects reside in a library which are older than xx days (or not used for xx days) so one could consolidate libraries somehow output queue: is there an output queue with no device with the same name (which is a valid case, but it would be nice to know) physical files: are there any logical files not in the same library as the physical file user profile: do the following objects exist: current library, job description, message queue, printer device, output queue and check the last login date. device description: - printer: do the following objects exist: message queue, output queue - display: do the following objects exist: printer device, output queue, printer file, message queue. check if there is a user profile with the same name, cause then there would be two message queue with the same name AFAIK. i would like to know if these checks make sense in some way or is there another way of checking these things? am i missing something like the xxx check for xxx object? i am no iSeries guru so i'm not that familiar with the machine/os. the checks would be written in java and mostly calling some os400 api. the result would be stored in database with some kind of frontend to get a view on the result (probably a web frontend). any feedback and idea is appreciated. thanx in advance. mihael knezevic porta it-service
