If you choose to automate the resize, you better be sure to lock users out, including any off-hours unattended batch processing. I was part of an environment where an evening batch process ran simultaneous with the resize and unfortunately the DBA failed to check the file system the next day. 5 working went by before the users reported strange problems with their application - investigation revealed 3 corrupt files. Because of the integrated nature of the application, they has to restore from backup back to the day before the disaster occurred and the 5 days work had to be recreated! A Disaster to Remeber!

Is there a way to semi-automagically resize all the files in a UniData

When we used Pick D3, we could run a process which would store the mod to
use on restore in the file definition item.  If we did a full system file
save and restore, the files would be recreated with the "new and improved"
mod.  We use to do this on a fairly regular basis, but since changing to
UniData, we haven't really addressed this.

I know I can use guide to get suggested resizing, and that I can use
memresize to actually resize an individual file, but is there a way to do
this system wide?  We are considering migrating to a newer machine, and
since we would have a system with no users on it for a while, it seems to
be the best time to implement a massive update.

Pointers to the correct manual would be appreciated, or a brief summary.
I'm certain that this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find it in
the archives.
