Good Day all, About a month ago, I was prepping to split a TSM DB because it was growing out of control after the addition of a number of remote imaging sites. After much review I was able to find failures in the expiration process. I tracked it down to a single client and after a call to IBM it was recommended to run a cleanup exptable. Needless to say it was running a very long time. After completion, the next expiration also ran for a very long time deleting hundreds of millions of objects. This should have translated to about 1/3 the database size being freed up.
The problem is that I'm seeing max reduction at 4gb. The stats I'm seeing indicated 74 million usable pages and 52 million used. Other than a unloaddb and loaddb. Is there any other way to reclaim this DB space ? Thanks, Duane
