Hi

Yes, you probably do. 

However, the impact of the unload is smaller than you might expect. 
Directly after the unload, you're database will shrink with 30-40%. 
However, the following days after a unload you will see that the database 
will quickly go up in utilization again. I'd expect you can earn about 
10-20% with a database thats 3 years old.

The unload we made brought the database down from 160GB to 80. However, 3 
months later, we're up at 110GB.

Best Regards

Re: AW: DSMSERV UNLOADDB






Hi All,
        I am surprised by the significant reduction is Pct Utilized. I 
thought in previous discussions that Unload/Reload had minimal impact on 
utilization. I have (2) TSM 5.2.2 servers on AIX with 40GB db's that are 
90% used. I haven't done a unload/reload since there creation 3 years 
ago...do I have an opportunity here?

Thanks in advance,
Dave

guys.... I've finished the DSMSERV LOADDB!!!

previous q db gave a Maximum reduction of zero and a PCT Util of 68% 
but my current q db shows the following :

Now... silly question... how do you edit the crontab?  I thought it was
crontab -C but that doesn't seem to work
