I am running the August 2000 edition of the System Manager code over the top of V3.5.1 Applications code... It works fine... To find out what it does without a job log we can guess based on what objects are used... The first layer of objects are all I will check at this time...

Using DSPPGMREF we find:

Program . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : ICF706CL
Library . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : IPGCFP4
Text 'description'. . . . . . . . . . . . . : Common Functions Day-End Driver 2000AUG
Number of objects referenced . . . . . . . : 11
Programs used:
ICF710 ----- Verify Application Users Driver and CLNUSRALC
ICF706 ----- Clear finished Records from User Register 2000AUG
Files used:
ICF03PHY ----- Application Detail Header
ICF04PHY ----- Application Details
ICF05PHY ----- User licence registration
ICF07PHY ----- User Licence Log
ICF15PHY ----- Licence Active Session


So based on those objects I'd say the CF day end job actually attempts to clean up the allocations of the users seats or licenses... I know it resets the count in ICF03PHY and clears bogus ICF04PHY records
left over from jobs that did not deallocate normally for whatever reason... You can run the command CLNUSRALC from the command line at any time to "refresh" those files... This can come in handy if you're close to the upper limit of your seats...


I'd say you can run CF day end with no worries... Just do it at a time when no users are signed on...

You do realize that there is a Applications Manager Day End and a Common Functions Day End and they both should be running with no users logged in... And they both do very different jobs... AM day end actually gets it's jobs to run from the Application definition where it says:
Library list code 0001
Description . . . Manufacturing MPS v3.0
Day end program . MS999CLP <--------------- This runs in AMDAYEND...
You can actually see the source code for these programs (if you have source code that is...).


Regards.

Subject: [SYSTEM21]   Common Functions Dayend

After reviewing some of our System Manager file sizes, I realized that we are not running the Common Functions Dayend. Before I just knee-jerk start to schedule it, I was curious if anyone knew in a little more detail what things happen during Common Functions Dayend. I've looked through the System 21 Redbook, the InfoBase documentation as well as the System21 listserve (midrange.com) and can't find anything that explains in any detail what files it cleans/resets or flags it updates.

I guess I'm being a little cautious that after so many years of it not being run, running it might suddenly produce an adverse effect!

Does anyone have knowledge of what it exactly does?
