  • 1.  Sending PF without data to Target System

    Scenario:

    I am testing an application on our target system. I have a very large log file (about 2.5TB) that has deleted members and new members added every day, and this file is refreshed daily. I want to omit the data in this file as it's not important for my testing  but the programs I'm testing with must have the members and the number of members correct.

    So, I want the PF and its members without data on the target system to start my application testing, how can I achieve this?

     

    Response:

    Use the iCluster Select Object command DMSELOBJ,  select the group (where the PF will be  included), add the object name, object type would be *FILE and object extended attribute would be PFDTA. Finally, ensure the value for Mirror contents (MIRRCNTS) is set to *NO.

     

    F1 - Help Text information for MIRRCNTS

    Indicates whether or not the contents of the object are mirrored. This parameter allows you to mirror object-level operations such as CREATE, DELETE, RENAME, and MOVE, but not the contents of the object…

    tries this but it does not work because the Extended attribute of the file is PF not PFDTA.
    when i do a sync check the sync check fails  because the  file is not found  the Extended attribute is PF  and the object is defined as PFDTA
