<h1 class="topictitle1">Determine conversion status</h1>
<div><p><span>Shortly after <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> V5R3M0
operating system or a later release is installed, the conversion to *TYPE2
directories will automatically begin for any of the file systems which have
not yet been converted to support *TYPE2 directories. This conversion processing
will take place in a secondary thread of the QFILESYS1 system job.</span></p>
<div class="section"><p>To determine the status of the conversion processing, you can
use the <span class="cmdname">Convert Directory (CVTDIR)</span> command as follows:</p>
<pre>CVTDIR OPTION(*CHECK)</pre>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>This invocation of the <span class="cmdname">CVTDIR</span> command lists
the current directory format for the "root" (/), QOpenSys and UDFS file systems
and if the file system is currently being converted. Additionally, it lists
the current priority of the conversion function, the file system currently
being converted by the system, the number of links that have been processed
for that file system, and the percentage of directories which have been processed
for that file system. The system starts the conversion function with a very
low priority (99) so that the conversion function does not significantly impact
system activity. However, you can change the priority of the conversion function
by using the *CHGPTY value for the OPTION parameter of the <span class="cmdname">CVTDIR</span> command.
See <span class="cmdname">CVTDIR</span> for additional information about this parameter
specification.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>Because the QFILESYS1 job is processing the
conversion, you can display the QFILESYS1 job log for messages indicating
any problems with the conversion. Additionally, various progress messages
are sent about the file system conversions. These messages include information
such as: the file system being converted, the number of links which have been
processed in the file system, the percentage of directories that have been
processed in the file system, and so on. All of the error and many of the
progress messages are also sent to the QSYSOPR message queue. Therefore, for
future reference, it would be good practice to ensure that the QHST logs or
QFILESYS1 job logs are preserved, which would contain these messages. After
the file systems have been fully converted, and the integrated
file system is working as expected, you can delete this historical information.</p>
