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

SQL User defined function

Here are the details: I created the object on my task as an SQL Function as PSEUDO source as required. UTLGUIDD *FUNCTN SQL HZN/BAS D DEVDTAYL.  The source member name is not the same as the UDF name and that was defined.  See Function Name below. I can compile the source with RUNSQLSTM from a command line.  When I attempt to compile within the system, I get an error on the report. I looked in the job log for the error, but there is a lot to sort out.  What am I missing? TIA.  ASQFUNCTN FUNCTION(LMIDTAYL/UTLGUIDD) SRCFILE(LMIDTAYL/UTLSRC) SRCMBR(UTLGUIDD) CMS2361 30 *FUNCTN UTLGUIDD created, but not in accord with SQL extended attribute.

Promote, Deploy - What is the difference?

ALM - Rocket Aldon Lifecycle Management (LMi or LMe) performs two distinct steps.PROMOTEMoves objects within the ALM  from one environment to the next within the ALM database without affecting the outside world.. e.g. from Quality-check to InventoryDEPLOYCopy objects (Extract) from an environment to Install in a library or path that are not directly managed by the ALM (i.e the outside world that is external to ALM). Often these copies are installed on a REMOTE server. e.g.Deploy to the Quality-check approval server or the Production server. Seamless configurationYour ALM could be configured to seamlessly trigger Deployment following a successful Promote:LMe:LMe Client > Setup (Menu Item) > Release Configuration > Expand your Group/Application/Release > select Environments > Right-Click the Environment to Deploy from > Properties > Options (tab) > Select your Deployment ProfileLMi:Main Menu > 13.

So you want to replicate the IFS, A lot of IFS...

I recently received a question regarding IFS replication for some paths that contain millions of IFS objects.  What are the selection considerations for large IFS replication groups that may contain millions of IFS objects?  Do you use 'journal=*NONE' in your selection or journaled IFS replication pointing to the default BSF journal in the group?  If the objects are jpg images or docs that never change once they are created, like pdfs, what is the best practice for these? The engineer asking the question is correct that the two methods of IFS (near real time) replication with iCluster are journaled and non-journaled replication.  The other method is using a periodic snapshot replication using a *RFSH replication group type.  (not usually the best choice for millions of objects but should be considered and eliminated if it is not applicable)  For IFS objects that are created, stored and do not change, non-journaled IFS object selection can be a good choice.  On occasion I have heard of

Tricky Tips - Plugin options for RDi, LegaSuite/MX and Eclipse-based IDEs... Part I

After reviewing a few recent posts regarding our Plugin for Eclipse and Rational, it seems that there are a few useful 'setup' things that we might bring in to the light.While our shipped Help does contain decent info on what we are capable of (Help > Help Contents > 'Rocket Aldon Lifecycle Manager Eclipse Plug-ins User Guide'), I do think we could use more FAQ or 'How-to' type stuff to make it more useful and shorten the learning curve. To that end, over the next several weeks, will be exposing a few tips for the Eclipse plugin for Lifecycle Manager that might help you in your daily tasks.Starting with...Connection options - Good for LMe (also used in LSWB / MX with LMe Plugin):1 - I usually use and recommend the option to display IDE Project names for the connection by Group for Add to Workspace (especially if you have many/hundreds of IDE Projects!). 2- A quick note that the LMe 'server' in the definition should match the configuration in aldcs.conf for LMe client (default is

SQL VIEW JOINS 3 TABLES 1 WITH FIELD PROCEDURES WILL NOT PROMOTE

Hello I am creating an SQL View of Table_One joined to Table_Two joined to Table_Three with the result columns coming from Table_one and Table_three but Table_two has field Procedures for security...none of the columns I am using to join data in 1 to 3...Originally I just wanted to compile the view in my dev but ALDON said it needed table 2 and 3 in my dev environment......so I checked out table 2/3 and created my view in my dev library. But as soon as I tried to promote the view to our ITG environment I get an error"CMS1422 30 Insufficient data to create Object Table_Two type *FILE in the ITG environment--would have been based onobject FLDPROCPGM type *PGM in library PRODLIB. "Why does ALDON care about columns not used in the View?Very Cumbersome!

Understand the replication status by using "Work with the Full Cluster Status Monitor"

In iCluster main menu, the option 8. Work with the Full Cluster Status Monitor (iCluster command: WRKCSMON) is a very useful feature to help you understand the replication status. On an active node, you can use it to display the Full Cluster Status Monitor to view replication status, latency, and replication throughput of all replication groups in the cluster or for a specific named group.   The following are some useful pieces of information may help you when you are performing iCluster monitoring:   1. When you see there is high source latency but low apply latency, and the journal entries keep moving, this can be caused by: heavy transactions generated by application jobs journal scrape jobs leak of system resource on primary node to handle the transaction workload. communication bandwidth is not enough Staging store size may need to increase 2. When you see there is low source latency but high apply latency, and the journal entries keep moving, this can be caused by: apply job i

Interpreting Workflows Part 4 – Understanding Workflows and Prioritizing Process Improvements

The following video produced by the Rocket labs illustrates some best practices for analyzing your workflow data intelligence to uncover areas where you can improve the efficiency of user workflows and processes. You'll see examples of how to organize the workflows based on the user activity and how to prioritize the information to take action to enhance workflow efficiency. You'll also be introduced to workflow 'application mode' where you can discover how various business processes fit holistically in context to every workflow processed by your user community. In addition to identifying and prioritizing workflow improvements, this is also a great way to better understand overall impact analysis of changes to your application portfolio for DevOps considerations. ------------------------------Charles JonesPrincipal Sales EngineerRocket Internal - All BrandsDallas TX US------------------------------
