Re: Library Size(Previous Month)

[John Jones <chianime@xxxxxxxxx>]

That's what I was going to propose.  Schedule RTVDSKINF for once a
week/month/whatever and have it run when the system is otherwise pretty
quiet - low activity levels.  Run PRTDSKINF *LIB after the RTVDSKINF
finishes.  How you choose to track library size changes from successive
runs of PRTDSKINF is up to you: print the reports, download them to a PC,
import to Excel or a database, etc.

Whatever you choose, you'll gain historical data not only on your library
size but on how your disk consumption changes over time.  That will help
you spot areas for cleanup and understand your actual growth rates, aiding
in future capacity planning efforts.

FTM you may also want to do a PRTDSKINF *OBJ for objects over, say, 100MB
in size.  That can help you spot random SAVFs and other objects wasting
space that are targets for cleaning up.
