Deleting overflowed objects during recovery

To recover a user auxiliary storage pool (ASP) that was in overflowed status, follow these steps.

  1. After running the Reclaim Storage (RCLSTG) command, display the contents of the QRCL library by typing: DSPLIB QRCL
  2. Write down the names of the objects in the library. These objects were overflowed into the system ASP at the time of the failure.

    Although the initial disk extents for these objects might have been allocated in the system ASP, portions of the objects might still have been lost. The integrity of these objects cannot be predicted. They should be deleted and recovered.

  3. Delete the overflowed objects. You must take special action before deleting certain types of objects.
  4. When you run the RCLSTG command, any documents from the lost user ASP that were in overflowed status are placed in the user ASP again. (The system creates a new QDOCnnnn library, where nnnn is the number of the lost ASP, and places the overflowed DLOs in it.)
    Assuming you have not yet restored document library objects (DLOs) to the user ASP, type the following command to delete the overflowed DLOs:
    DLTDLO DLO(*ALL) FLR(*ANY) ASP(n)

    where n is the number of the ASP whose data was lost.
