RE: RTVDSKINF and *TMPSPACE

<he he> We have a grand total of 25.16G on our system. So 3G is a pretty
big number... :-) (Also OpSys 5.2)

What happened is that I have been tasked with gathering SOX auditing
journal receivers and putting them on tape for 7 year retention... I got
that working on our 11 machines, all feeding a central system (that
doesn't have any disk space issues at this time). 

On the machine in question, since it is in Florida, and since Florida
has such fun dancing with hurricanes, the decision was made to install
Mimix and get a DR system which is installed in Minneapolis.

I have attempted to set up a standard that any user profile with *ALLOBJ
authority is fully logged. I noticed that Mimix profile MIMIXOWNER was
*ALLOBJ and I hadn't set it up to log. The profile itself was hard coded
with a CCSID code of 65xxx. I had (I guess) millions of receiver records
with 8-10 changes per second from CCSID of 65xxx to 37 back to 65xxx
back to 37, over and over again. This rapidly took up a lot of disk
space.

In the process of auditing analysis, I convert journal receivers to a
data file and run SQL against that to give a summary of activity which
is then reported via PDF emailed to management and myself. I blew out
the back end of our disk space in the process of this conversion.

I have now replaced the hard coded CCSID with *SYSVAL, which is 37. I
also stopped logging this profile. When I catch my breath... I want to
get back to logging it again.

Any comments, alternate methodology, recommendations appreciated.

Thank you,

Dave

I have to ask, what percentage of your total space is 3.7GB?  For
example on our 4.7TB machine we have 36GB used in temp space, or 0.76%,
also according to PRTDSKINF *SYS.  Is there where you'd all target your
effort on a machine like this?
                             % of         Size in 
Description                  Disk     1,000,000 bytes
User libraries              11.62          549515.80 
User directories            68.13         3221019.80 
Folders and documents         .02             715.65 
QSYS                          .14            6532.75 
Other IBM libraries           .58           27495.44 
Licensed Internal Code        .09            4442.94 
Temporary space               .76           36112.35 
Unused space                18.41          870366.92 
System internal objects       .16            7587.82 
Objects not in a library      .00             172.95 
TOTAL                       99.91         4723962.42 

However, if it is a concern then I'd check out:

and for the topic, select Temporary Disk Space

RTVDSKINF and *TMPSPACE






I am having disk space problems. I ran RTVDISKINF and see that my
*TMPSPACE has doubled to 3.7G.

What is *TMPSPACE?
