Re: IFS cleanup

Management Central logging issue resolved via PMR.

For whatever reason, calling that program to get the logging turned off
wasn't working. IBM had me manually edit the config file at
'/qibm/userdata/os400/mgtc/config/McEPConfig.properties'. Mine looked like
this:

************Beginning of data**************
#Management Central Endpoint System Configuration version 1.0
#Wed Jan 23 13:22:43 EST 2013
QYPS_MAX_TRANSFERS=10
QYPS_TRACE=-1
QYPS_HOSTNAME=
QYPSJ_TRACE=2
QYPS_MINIMUM_PORT=-1
QYPS_MAXIMUM_PORT=-1
************End of Data********************

I had to manually change the 3rd to last line to this:

QYPSJ_TRACE=-1

That stopped the logging.

If you ran the
CALL QSYS/QYPSCONFIG PARM('QYPS_TRACE' '-1')
and did an ENDTCPSVR *MGTC, waited for QYPSJSVR job to end, and did a
STRTCPSVR *MGTC and you're still getting new files in that directory then
you need to call IBM.

I think you were talking to yourself in that thread. And your response,
where you indicate the trace didn't seem to stop, is the same result I
got.
It's still tracing.

What don't I understand?

Gee Jeff, I remember clearing up 18% of your disk space at one time by

them.
http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/200906/msg00319.html

WRKLNK '/www'
for every directory in there drill down into it. Place a 2 to edit the
logs directory. Place your cursor on changed date/time. Use F16 to
sort
by it. Kill what tickles you.

WRKDOMSVR
12=Work object links
F17, position to logs.
2=Edit
kill what ails you
Repeat for the server's IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT directory

Some backup planning work I am doing resulted in this issue.

I found there are literally thousands of log files in the IFS that I
have
no need of. Examples:

/easy400apc/logs had 2 log files for every day going back to 2005. Most
of
them were empty.

/QIBM/UserData/OS400/MGTC/service had 2 log files for every day going
back
to 2008. These actually had stuff in them, but I don't know why I would
need them now.

All of the above log files prior to today's date have been blown away.

I wonder where else there are unneeded logs? Do some of you have a
comprehensive way to remove them? What if some don't have a .log
extension
or live in a directory named logs? How do you even find them?

I need to keep the IFS cleaner.
