    Hi

    is the best among the following. Is there any other tools available?

    2: Vision's Reorg While Active
    3: OS Solutions: Reorg While Active in OS Director
    4: KSTSOFTWARE
    5: S4isystems-reorg while active
    6: DCS Software : ARCTOOLS/400? Version 6.1
    7: Softlanding systems

    Thanks!

    in V5R4 and up RGZPFM has reorg while active (note: reorg while active will not purge deleted records since it can't acquire an exclusive lock on the file)

      What are your requirements?

      Here's a free utility (the thread itself is a bit dated though)
      Links/Reviews of products on the AS400 market. Some may contain free trial versions. If you see something you have worked with please post your thoughts.


      and the open source you can get here

        Visions reorg while active does (using MIMIX promoter V4 at least) does not check for member locks so it fails to promote on occasion which sometimes leaves logical files in the production library attached to the temporary physical file created by their code to handle the reorg.

        So you have to manually check after each promotion if the logicals are correct, and if not delete and recreate them.

              To do a re-org without locking the file, you will need to journal the file and specify that the re-org can be suspended.
              I have no need for this so I won't be doing it. But my source is there for you to play with if you wish. It would be nice if you post the modified source back here or at http://www.support.ecofitonline.com/...eleted-records once you've got it working.
