<div><p><span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Consider the following information about compressing
|
||
|
|
and decompressing objects before you create the distribution media:<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When you compress licensed programs you receive several benefits including
|
||
|
|
saving storage space. When creating distribution media for central site distribution,
|
||
|
|
you can leave all the licensed programs that have high usage decompressed.
|
||
|
|
Or, you can distribute some of a licensed program in a compressed state and
|
||
|
|
some of the program in a decompressed state. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Before you create the distribution media, consider these items: <img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>You can compress both IBM<sup>®</sup> objects and your own user-created objects. IBM program objects
|
||
|
|
can be compressed only in the restricted state. Use the Compress Object (CPROBJ)
|
||
|
|
control language command to compress objects.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Programs (*PGM), service programs (*SRVPGM), and modules (*MODULE) automatically
|
||
|
|
and permanently decompress the first time they are used.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The first time a compressed panel (*PNLGRP), menu (*MENU), printer file
|
||
|
|
(*FILE with attribute PRTF), or display file (*FILE with attribute DSPF) is
|
||
|
|
used, it is temporarily decompressed. If such a temporarily decompressed object
|
||
|
|
is used five times or for more than two consecutive days on the same initial
|
||
|
|
program load (IPL), it is permanently decompressed.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Usually, an operation on a compressed object takes a little longer than
|
||
|
|
if the object were decompressed. While a very large compressed object is decompressing,
|
||
|
|
the system will send the message, <tt>Operation in progress. Please wait.</tt></li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>IBM recommends the following actions to help you reduce the amount of disk
|
||
|
|
space used on the target systems. At the same time, these actions ensure that
|
||
|
|
frequently used objects are decompressed:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Compress everything you are sending to the target systems.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Use the objects on the central system in the same manner they will be
|
||
|
|
used on the target systems. Do so at least five times for panel groups, menus,
|
||
|
|
printer files, and display files.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If you are creating a premastering media, files on CD-ROMs cannot span
|
||
|
|
volumes. Compress objects so that the resulting saved file fits on the CD-ROM.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|

|
