Re: Odd DASD usage growth

Jim,

	Well you DID say you just installed JAVA8 LOL!

	What do you use Websphere for?
	
	I see Troy beat me to the Audit Journal suggestion but for sure I would 
do WRKOBJ *ALL/*ALL *JRNRCV and investigate to see if there are many 
more than you expect. They are the #1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 suspects when I 
look for stuff using too much space unexpectedly.
