Re: Large Objects created on AS400 consuming huge disk space

Rob,

Although I agree with your point of view about RTVDSKINF, I'm a little
mystified regarding your statement about DSPOBJD getting only QSYS.LIB.
Would you like to clarify? Also, I see in your list a library called
"QUALITY". Is that a system lib?

This is no longer an AS/400. This is a system i. Continuing to use old
methods like that will not show you what's been consumed by stream files,
temporary space and other stuff outside of the /QSYS.LIB file system.
Use RTVDSKINF and PRTDSKINF *SYS.
On my system using DSPOBJD would be ignoring 1.2TB of stuff consumed by
other stuff. If 1.2TB is insignificant to you then, by all means,
continue to use DSPOBJD.
If you did a "directory" on your PC would you feel that just adding up the
size of one directory show you how much stuff is used on your system?
After all DSPOBJD only adds up one directory out of 96 on my system.
Sample:
Object link
...
QFPNWSSTG
QIBM
QNTC
QOpenSys
QOPT
QPWXCGA
QPWXCGY
QPWXCPC
QPWXCRB
QPWXCSO
QPWXCWN
QReclaim
QSR
QSYS.LIB
QTCPTMM
QUALITY
...
And DSPOBJD only gets QSYS.LIB.
I've freed up workfiles outside of /QSYS.LIB that's freed up over 30% of
my disk used. I know of another company that cleared up 18% easily with
that same workfile directory.

I use the following command weekly:

DSPOBJD OBJ(*ALL/*ALL) OBJTYPE(*ALL) +
OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(QTEMP/OBJECTS)

Then create a query to read in the QTEMP/OBJECTS file and sort by size.
That will at least tell you which ones are large and when they were
created/updated.

Hi,

I am on V5R4.I have seen a substatntial increase in the DASD since last 4
days almost 4%.

There are no Object Management tools installed (eg OS Director) thru which

I
can actually find about the big files/libs created in the last 4 days and
chase the user.

Is there a way on AS400(thru AS400 commands) thru which I can find about
the
big files and objects created in the last 4 days.

Regards
Sneha
