Hi,
Our cics regions have files defined with lot of space without considering the reqrment, so that now we are running short of DASD space. So I would like to redefine/reorganize all the files.
Now, my question is how to estimate the optimized primary/secondary spaces reqd for these files.
For example I have a file 'abc' with record length 3850 and having 1 million (10,00,000) records in it. So the file size may be = (rec len x no.of records)/bytes per cylinder.
So i will get the space needed for the file in cylinder unit (file size).
Now, assume I give x/y as the primary/sec space in cylinders for the file. So the size will be x + (y x 123), (which is the no, of extends).
Now which will be the most optimized way to decide x and y.?
Assume I will give freespace(20,20). CISize(8192)
Can somebody help me.. eagerly looking for some answers... don't worry about the example above. its only a sample for you to understand the problem. Real thing is how to estimate. |

Hi Siva,
Thank you very much for the detailed document. I am sure this will help me.
What I am doing now is, i got another tool for calculating the file size in cylinders. And the information i got from various sources so far, says that, deciding primary and secondary most optimized spaces is not possible with tools or formulae.
So I am in the process of deciding the most optimized size for each files by looking at the size, type and growth rate of the files.
Anyway, thank you very much for the information provided. It really good.
Regards
Pratheep
