I have recently run a library sizing and find that QDOC is over 170 meg. This is made up of *DOC and *FLR objects which I am unable to delete using any conventional methods that I know of.

We acquired the machine from another company who obviously used folders and documents. However, we do not need to use them and could do with reclaiming as much of the space as possible.

The QDOC library contains the "Document" file system. To see all the command available for working with this file system, sign on as QSECFOR or an equivalent *ALLOBJ user and then type GO CMDFLR from the command line.

You can use option 5 "Work with Folders" to display and delete objects in the "Document" file system....

Commands

1. Create Folder CRTFLR
2. Convert To Folder CVTTOFLR
3. Display Folder DSPFLR
4. Restore S/36 Folder RSTS36FLR
5. Work with Folders WRKFLR

Faster backup method for System i If you System i backups are taking too long, you can create a CLP with basic commands to save time.

Display documents on your iSeries -- quick and easy Somewhere along the line, the DLO (i.e. Document Library Objects) system became somewhat reliant on OfficeVision. Sure, you can navigate around the DLO system with i5/OS DLO commands, but you are pretty much limited to displaying just the names of the DLO objects – commonly known as "documents" and "folders."

Quick iSeries/System i backup check A quick way to check if you are backing up all of your User Libraries is to use the little known command EDTBCKUPL. This command shows you the change library backup list menu. You need to look at the columns library last backup and changed. If changed is yes and last backup was not your last backup date, you may have problems. If you F4 the command, you can also see the data for *FLR(Folders) not IFS.

Who is using the Document Library Objects? Sometimes when you are trying to access an IFS object you might get the message indicating the object is in use. There is no such command in iSeries to check the lock on the object. Using command WRKDLOLCK you can check if there is a lock on the document library object.
