I just came to office. As it is saturday, it seemed strange that my workstation was very busy (judged on basis of the noise from disks). Appeared that I am receiving lots of mails. In fact, my unseen count was already well over 13000! And more was to come as there was in the MR queue (for my single user system) at least thousand more mail) and tracking to the originating system, there were a few thousand batch jobs just about to fail and then send their failure report to me... Needless to say, I killed all those jobs and am currently cleaning the up the mess on the application system. But how do I get rid (in a clean and fast way) of those 13000+ messages with title "HELPLINE Batch file error"? Seems that ordinary EM, I with selecting all messages with mentioned title and ALL XD is probably not a very fast way... Suggestions appreciated. _veli

I had to go away for a few hours (to a customer site) and decided to this in a simple way. Just EM and index all messages with the title beginning Helpline, then ALL XD. It might have taken a few hours. By the time I was at home and able to login from home to my system, all 13000+ messages were already gone. Obviously EW took some time too, but I spent that hour by going out swimming. I've used already DFU to compress OA$SHAREnnn directories also. Interestingly enough, in the originating system there were something like 20000 tempfiles on a single directory. I cleaned those with a small C program (basically doing $delete/reverse *.*;*, just /reverse of course does not exist). _veli | |||||
2573.2 | ALL-IN-1 handled this load very smoothly by the way | VELI::KORKKO | Sat Mar 15 1997 23:14 | 7 | |
By the way, if I had my mails going to Exchange (like many nowadays do), I just wonder how long delays this 13000+ mail storm to me travelling DEC:.FNO.AKSELI -(vmsmail) - mrgate -> HSKRTR --- STKMTS --> RDGMTS --> PMDF --> intranet/smtp --> reo Exchange server ---.... fno exchange server would have caused? _veli | |||||

I'm pretty sure you can use the CAB JANITOR function on the INBOX if you have the privileges. That skips the wastebasket altogether. Of course it still takes a while. . . Ben |
