The native IBM i utility provides for running numerous automated disk cleanup jobs to help improve system performance.

 

Editor's Note: To download and try DASD-Plus at no obligation, visit the MC Software Center.

 

DASD-Plus is a utility that allows iSeries/System i administrators to schedule more than 27 automated cleanup jobs. These jobs can be run either in a "what-if" scenario to check out what will be cleaned up if the process is actually run or in a "commit" mode to clean up history logs, alerts, message queues, spool files, etc. Administrators can run surveys to monitor changes in libraries, objects, directories, and entries as well as monitor for spikes in disk utilization.

 

 Developer's Take:

"Our goal was to remove the mundane, administrative tasks associated with disk cleanup and provide a greater amount of flexibility in how these jobs are managed. Disk monitoring, analysis, and reporting capabilities enable administrators to get to root causes of disk changes quickly, take a closer look inside their DASD, and save time by using the forecast and charting tools for capacity-planning purposes."

—Alistair Scott, DASD-Plus developer
