ReorgWizard by ArcTools Regains Disk Space

ReorgWizard from ArcTools can prevent decreased productivity on IBM iSeries due to slower online inquiries, longer backups, slow month end closes.

IBM iSeries customers can now have regained valuable disk space in a fraction of the time it would have taken with the standard IBM procedure allowing an increased in productivity and less end user frustration.

Many IT departments struggle with reorganizing files because the standard IBM procedure (RGZPFM) locks the files for the entire process. With the ReorgWizard, users can be logged into the system while the reorg is in process. ReorgWizard has a built in Throttle allowing the administrator to slow down each job. The administrator also has the ability to start and stop a reorg for any reason. Reorgs can be scheduled to run until a ‘stop-by’ date and time, or for a set number of records, or both. This allows the files to be reorganized in manageable increments.

Once the data is reorganized, the deleted record space can be recovered with a few seconds or minutes of exclusive file allocation. ArcTools offers a thirty day free trial utilizing ReorgWizard.
