Age IFS files with a new storage audit feature

For many companies, the Integrated File System (IFS) is continually growing and difficult to manage. To help you with this task, Help/Systems has enhanced Robot/SPACE. If you are using Robot/SPACE 2.14 (or higher), you have an enhancement that makes it easy to find and/or delete old IFS objects.

The Age IFS Objects storage audit task scans your IFS to find old objects for you. You can print a report of the results, or you can have Robot/SPACE delete the old files automatically. The report lists old IFS objects, sorted by directory, and the date they were last used.

Setting up the Age IFS Objects task is a simple, two-step process:

1. Right-click on the storage audit and select Properties. There is a new tab for Aged IFS File Filter. Add a filter and choose to filter by Directory or by Stream File. (Choosing Directory allows you to include subdirectories; the Stream File option lists old *STMF objects in the specified directory only.) Specify how old (in days) an IFS object must be to be listed on the report or deleted.

2. Add the storage audit task Age IFS Objects. Choose the corrective action of deleting old IFS objects, or select the option to print a report listing old IFS objects.
