|
<p>Use the Reclaim Spool Storage (RCLSPLSTG) command or the Automatically
|
||
|
|
clean up unused printer output storage (QRCLSPLSTG) system value to reclaim
|
||
|
|
spooled file storage. These are the only allowable ways to remove spooled
|
||
|
|
database members from the QSPL or QSPLxxxx libraries. Any other way can cause
|
||
|
|
severe problems. For more information about spooled file storage, see <a href="rzalusplfstorage.htm#rzalusplfstorage">Spooled file library</a>.</p>

<p><span class="bold">Automatically clean up unused printer output storage (QRCLSPLSTG)

|
||
|
|
<p>Use the Automatically clean up unused printer output storage (QRCLSPLSTG)
|
||
|
|
system value to adjust the desired balance between spool performance and auxiliary
|
||
|
|
storage. This system value can be used to cleanup unused printer output storage
|
||
|
|
on system ASPs, basic user ASPs and independent ASPs. For more information
|
||
|
|
see, <a href="../rzakz/rzakzqrclsplstg.htm">Storage system values: Automatically clean up
|
||
|
|
unused printer output storage</a> in the System values topic.</p>

<p>Assume that one of your application programs had an error and it produced
|
||
|
|
thousands of spooled files that were of no value to you. When this happened
|
||
|
|
those spooled files used lots of storage space on your system. To reclaim
|
||
|
|
the spool storage, do the following:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
||
|
|
<li>Change the Automatically clean up unused printer output storage (QRCLSPLSTG)
|
||
|
|
system value to 1.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Delete all the unwanted spooled files that the application program created.
|
||
|
|
Note the time of day you deleted all the unwanted spooled files.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>After 24 hours, provided the empty spooled file members are not reused,
|
||
|
|
the system reclaims the auxiliary storage that was being used by the empty
|
||
|
|
spooled files.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Change the Automatically clean up unused printer output storage (QRCLSPLSTG)
|
||
|
|
system value back to its former value.</li></ol>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Reclaim Spool Storage (RCLSPLSTG) command</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Another choice is to use the Reclaim Spool Storage (<a href="../cl/rclsplstg.htm">RCLSPLSTG</a>) command with the DAYS parameter set to *NONE to immediately
|
||
|
|
reclaim all empty spooled file members. This command can be used to cleanup
|
||
|
|
unused printer output storage on system ASPs and basic user ASPs. This command
|
||
|
|
cannot be used to cleanup unused printer output storage on independent ASPs.</p>

<ol type="1">
|

<p><span class="bold">System ASP storage</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can reduce the amount of storage taken up by spooled files by moving
|
||
|
|
or creating spooled files directly into a user ASP or independent ASP. You
|
||
|
|
can accomplish this by specifying *OUTQASP on the SPLFASP parameter when creating
|
||
|
|
an output queue in a library that is located in the desired user ASP or independent
|
||
|
|
ASP.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>All spooled files you place in this output queue will have the spooled
|
||
|
|
file data stored in the user ASP or independent ASP in a library QSPL<span class="italic">xxxx</span> where <span class="italic">xxxx</span> is the user ASP or independent
|
||
|
|
ASP number.</p>
