Re: Is there a faster way to clear a library

Yes it looks like CLRLIB is doing some of the task (triggers, constraints
etc)... but why it takes so much time ?

Its more like rebuilding a libary from a backup of another system.

1. System A --> library TSTDTALIB --> Developers can add/remove objects
in it during development/testing..

on a periodic basis... we have to reset the TSTDTALIB on SYSTEM A from a
backup of another system.

2. System B --> libary PRDDTALIB --> Need to restore on System A without
keeping anything on SYSTEM A in TSTDTALIB.

Consider clearing physical files and leaving the objects behind since you
more than likely rebuild it anyway?

Are there constraints/triggers to delete first causing the system to work
really hard to get rid of objects? Do it with a CL instead.

Consider deleting all the dependent files before trying to delete the
physical files. Like:

For each physical in the library:


DSPDBR FILE(&PLIB/&PFILE) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) +

OUTFILE(QTEMP/QADSPDBR) OUTMBR(*FIRST *replace)

MONMSG MSGID(CPF3012)

OVRDBF FILE(QADSPDBR) TOFILE(QTEMP/QADSPDBR)

READ: RCVF

MONMSG MSGID(CPF0864) EXEC(GOTO CMDLBL(DLTPF))

DLTF FILE(&WHRELI/&WHREFI) /* Dependent files */

GOTO READ

DLTPF:

DLTF &PLIB/&PFILE


This code works really fast on most physical tables.

It takes an hour or so to clear the library with around 900+ objects mostly
data files and LFs.. we are looking to do it quickly..
