New tool to delete logical files based over a physical file before deleting the physical file

[adrotate group=”3,7,8,9″]
One of the problems I see a lot is where a physical file has a number of logical files built over it and you try to delete it only to find out you have to delete all of the logical files first. The same goes for members so we decided to create a tool that will look for the logical file members linked over the physical file member and delete them before deleting the physical file member. If you enter *ALL for the members it will remove all of the members plus the file object, if you pass in a specific member it will only remove the logical file members and that specific member in the physical file. We found we could have a physical file with no members that had logical files built over it! The API we use to extract the member list threw a fit (it found the logical files but said in the header it did not?? that’s one for IBM when we get the time).

The tool is available for download from the Blog downloads.
