MIMIX maintains history of successfully completed distribution requests to provide a record of all object, DLO, and IFS replication activity completed by system journal replication processes. While MIMIX efficiently uses disk space and removes completed requests according to the value specified in the Keep data group history parameter of the system definition, you may occasionally need to manually remove completed activity entries. One reason to manually remove completed entries may be to conserve disk space, while another may be to clean up entries for an object that has been removed from replication as a result of a configuration change.

Note: Your business policies and procedures may require that you archive completed activity entries to tape before you delete them.

To remove completed activity entries, do the following:

  1. From the Work with Data Groups display, type 28 (Completed objects) next to the data group you want and press Enter. The Work with Data Group Activity display appears with a list of objects with completed entries.

  2. Type a 4 (Remove) next to the entry you want and do one of the following:

    • To remove all available completed entries for the selected object, press Enter. Then continue with Step 4.

    • To change the selection criteria to include entries for additional objects or to limit the entries based on a time range, press F4 (Prompt). The Remove DG Activity Entries (RMVDGACTE) display appears.

  3. To change the selection criteria, do the following as needed:

    • To remove a subset of completed entries for the selected object based on the timestamp of the replicated journal entries, specify values for Starting date and time and Ending date and time prompts.

    • To expand the set of objects for which completed entries will be removed, change the values of the following prompts as needed:

    For an expanded set of object types, use the Object type prompt.

    For a library based object, use the Object and Library prompts.

    For a DLO, use the Document and Folder prompts.

    For an IFS object use the IFS object prompt.

    For a spooled file, use the Spooled file name, Spooled file number, Spooled file job name, Spooled file job user, Spooled file job number, Output queue, and Library prompts.

  4. A confirmation display appears. Press Enter.
