Methods for reducing disk space that is used by documents

 

Documents tend to accumulate and require more and more storage. This information describes different methods that you can use to reduce disk space that is used for documents.

• Saving documents and delete them (STG(*DELETE)). These documents no longer appear when you search for documents.

• Saving documents and free storage (STG(*FREE)). These documents appear when you search and the system marks them as offline.

• Moving documents to a user ASP. You can establish different backup strategies and different recovery strategies for these user ASPs.

• Using the Reorganize Document Library Object (RGZDLO) command.

When you save documents, specify search values such as the storage mark on the document or the document expiration date to identify which documents should have their storage freed.
