RE: Deleting PTF *SAVF to clear disk space

["Steinmetz, Paul" <PSteinmetz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jerry,

To gain some space back.

1) Delete old, large, unneeded *JRNRCV
DSPOBJD OBJ(*ALL/*ALL) OBJTYPE(*JRNRCV) to see the size.

WRKOBJ OBJ(*ALL/*ALL) OBJTYPE(*JRNRCV) to do the delete.

2) Delete large spoolfiles
STRSQL
SELECT OUTQ, SPOOLNAME, size, pages, job_name, created FROM       
QSYS2.OUTPUT_QUEUE_ENTRIES ORDER BY SIZE DESC FETCH FIRST 100 ROWS ONLY   

3) Clear tmp IFS directory
QSH CMD('clrtmp')

Paul

This machine is OUT OF DISK SPACE including any work space so we are 
wondering if doing the apply *PERM needs lots of work space which we 
don't have.

Applying as *PERM is my preference.

This place is completely not monitored so they have no idea about what 
is going on system wise.

We are the mop up crew.
