Managing Files (Software Inputs) in the Archive
The 440 identical files are stored with the first input and referenced by pointers from
the second input. The 20 new files are the only additions to the archive for the second
input. If you delete RVU X20.00, only the 10 files not referenced by X20.01 are
removed from the archive. The 440 shared files remain.
To determine which configurations use a specific product in the archive, generate a
Configurations Using a Product report. (See
Section 18, Generating DSM/SCM
Reports .) Configuration revisions in DSM/SCM also reference files in the archive. A
configuration revision is a set of pointers in the database to files in the archive. The
archive also stores the system generation output for configurations, including the
OSIMAGE file, which can be quite large.
Estimating Freed Disk Space (ZPHIHMI)
To estimate the maximum amount of disk space that a backup or deletion frees:
1. On the ZPHIHMI main menu, enter 9 (Archive Maintenance); then press F1.
DSM/SCM displays the Archive Maintenance screen.
2. Enter the software input name or configuration revision name; then press F5.
3. In case an error “DSM/SCM could not find needed information in database” occurs,
rename the Software Input from the Planner Interface. To rename follow these
steps:
a. In the Software in Archive window, select the Software to be renamed.
b. Select File > Show Software Input Description.
The Software Description window appears.
c. Under Software Name, enter the new name for the software and click OK.
d. Goto Step 1.
Backing Up a Software Input (ZPHIHMI)
Backing up a software input removes it from the archive and marks it in the database
as backed up:
1. Check that no other DSM/SCM activities are running on the system.
2. On the ZPHIHMI main menu, enter 9 (Archive Maintenance); then press F1.
DSM/SCM displays the Archive Maintenance screen.
3. Enter the software input name.
4. Enter the name of the tape drive to be used for the backup; then press F8.
