Re: IPGCFP4/@CPISYS - The plot thickens...

["Bruce Stern" <sternb@xxxxxxxx>]

We reviewed this issue some years ago.  It appears that this indeed is a
holdover from IPG related programming, and there is still a lot of that in
place. I agree that these files can be periodically cleaned out as they are
used to provide a place to pass parameters among IPG source programs and use
the job number as the reference point to assure that the specific user's
session or batch is the one being tracked as an activity goes from program
to program.

The @CPIU files are application specific and generally contain key fields
from logical files accessed by the application. These are filled in as
appropriate prior to a call to another program which then retrieves the data
from this file.

Best,

I decided to investigate the source of these records...  It seems they come
from various places so I checked the source code for all programs in
OSLMJS3 scanning for @CPISYS...  There I found many programs that reference
@CPISYS as the SYSTEM portion of the common program interface...  There is
a USER portion too...!!!

In fact here is the entire list of files (for the USER side) I found in the
OSLD1F3 library on our system...
(We have consolidated OSLD2F3 into OSLD1F3 so your list may look
different...)

Object      Type        Attribute   Text
@CPIUAC     *FILE       PF-DTA      Advanced Customer Scheduling CPI User
@CPIUAI     *FILE       PF-DTA      EDI application interface - V3 CPI Us
@CPIUAS     *FILE       PF-DTA      Advanced Shipping CPI User File
@CPIUCR     *FILE       PF-DTA      Customer Returns Version 3 CPI User F
@CPIUDR     *FILE       PF-DTA      Distribution Requirements V3 CPI User
@CPIUFC     *FILE       PF-DTA      Forecasting V3 CPI User File
@CPIUIN     *FILE       PF-DTA      Inventory V3. Fix environment CPI Use
@CPIUJC     *FILE       PF-DTA      Job Management Development Env CPI Us
@CPIUJM     *FILE       PF-DTA      Job Management Development CPI User F
@CPIUOE     *FILE       PF-DTA      Sales Order Processing V 3.0 CPI User
@CPIUPM     *FILE       PF-DTA      Purchase Management Version 3 CPI Use
@CPIUSA     *FILE       PF-DTA      Sales Analysis V3.0 CPI User File
@CPIUSH     *FILE       PF-DTA      Scheduling Version 3 CPI User File
@CPIUTP     *FILE       PF-DTA      Transport Planning CPI User File
@CPIUTS     *FILE       PF-DTA      Telesales version 3 CPI User File
@CPIUUS     *FILE       PF-DTA      US Sales Tax Version 3 CPI User File
@CPIUVS     *FILE       PF-DTA      Vendor Sheduling V3 - Developm CPI Us
@CPIUWH     *FILE       PF-DTA      Warehousing version 3 CPI User File
@CPIUWT     *FILE       PF-DTA      World Trade V 3.0 CPI User File

In OSLPDF3 we find:
@CPIUMJ     *FILE       PF-DTA      Repetitive for Process CPI User File
@CPIUPD     *FILE       PF-DTA      Manufacturing PDM - V3.0 CPI User Fil

In OSLCSF3 we find:
@CPIUCS     *FILE       PF-DTA      OSL Cash Book, version 1. Field Refer

In OSLSLF3 we find:
@CPIUSL     *FILE       PF-DTA      OSL Sales Ledger version 2. CPI User

In OSLFIF3 we find:
@CPIUFI     *FILE       PF-DTA      Version 3 Advanced Fin. Integ. CPI Us

There are even more on the SYSTEM side too...
In IPGAGP3 we find:
@CPIUAG     *FILE       PF-DTA      IPG/400 Version 2 Field Reference Fil

Needless to say they are ubiquitous...!!!

I suggest that perhaps these files need purging too...  I grant you that
most of these files are empty but for those that have records in them you
will probably need to devise some automated program for clearing them out
in the night job when there are no locks on the files...

Looks like there is some untidy leftover logic in the code if indeed these
files are no longer needed by the system...

We experienced the same "file full" problem with IPGCFP4/@CPISYS.  The
response from several JBA consultants was that this file belonged to the
bygone era of IPG, and is no longer used by any applications.  We've been
clearing this file weekly and haven't had any problems.  We're on V3.5.0.
