Just guessing extra runtime's needed following any "roots" to the next directory . . .

Rob,
So it's basically a length issue.
RTVDSKINF field length for path is 63, DIFLPT, object name is 12.
RTVDIRINF field length for path is 1024, QEZDIRNAM1, object name is 512, QEZOBJNAM
Why the big difference in runtimes?
Paul

Look at
SELECT * FROM syscolumns WHERE TABLE_NAME ='QAEZDISK'
You see any variable length character columns in there which can handle directory names like '/Domino/ApplicationServer/data/WesternHemisphere/UnitedStates/Michigan/MacombCounty'?
You see any variable length character columns in there which can handle names like 'AReviewofthebookLifeAndTimesOfJudgeRoyBean.doc'?

Rob,
If you take a closer look, RTVDSKINF loads complete Folder/Doc information, name, path, dates, size, etc.
For IFS STMF etc,, RTVDSKINF loads everything (date, size, owner) except name and path.
Could this be a bug?
Did anyone ever report this?
Is there a reason name and path are NOT loaded?

Can you get this information from RTVDIRINF?
Licensed Internal Code
Temporary space
Can you get these breakdowns from RTVDIRINF?
Licensed Internal Code:
LIC and tables
Dump space
Error logs
Trace tables
VLIC logs
VLIC control blocks
As you noted, RTVDSKINF does NOT have any detail about individual stream file entries. So if you had directories like /DominoServers /OurFtpSite /home and more you couldn't summarize it by those directories.

I have an AJS scheduled job, runs every day, only 5 minutes (SSD drives),
RTVDSKINF, followed by PRTDSKINF.
10 QSYS/RTVDSKINF
20 QSYS/PRTDSKINF RPTTYPE(*LIB) LIB(*ALL) OWNER(*ALL) FLR(*ALL)
OBJ(*NONE) OBJTYPE(*ALL) MINSIZE(0) SORT(*SIZE).
1) Creates a 14 page report, which is total system summary, all library
summary, IFS totals only, no details.
These are all kept, for system and library growth analysis.
2) QAEZDISK is loaded for any options that may need to be run from 4. Disk
space tasks 2. Print disk space information
3) This also will report any damaged object on the system.
I revisited the QAEZDISK file, there is actually an entry for every IFS
item, but no name, text description *NOLIB.

I'm now considering similar logic for RTVDIRINF to get IFS detail info.
1) Why does RTVDIRINF take 2 hours instead of 5 minutes for RTVDSKINF?
2) If I run RTVDIRINF, do I really need RTVDSKINF?
3) RTVDIRINF doesn't replace the files, it creates new ones, so either
plan to manage these or delete before running.
4) Is there a better option?
Thank You
