VISTA Plus for MPE Administrator's Guide

Managing Folders
4-11
Each of the options listed on the VISTACLN menu has a specific entry point name associated with
it. You can either select the number of the option you wish to use from the VISTACLN menu, or
you can use the entry point name with the VISTACLN command as follows:
: RUN VISTACLN.PUB.NETBASE,entrypoint
Each of the entry points is described in the following sections. They are numbered according to the
order in which they appear on the VISTACLN window.
1. Default
This option cleans the specified folder, saving the number of generations of each report based on
the archive rules. If a report has the generations set to seven, then the seven most recent generations
of the report will be retained.
If the Months and Days option of the Archive Rules have been defined, then generations retained
will be those that were created within the last (n) number of Months and Days.
When reports are removed from a folder, the reports are grouped by report name, job name, user
name, and account name. Each group is sorted by creation date and time. The oldest reports are
deleted, leaving the number of generations which qualify based on the Archive Rules.
For example:
: RUN VISTACLN.PUB.NETBASE
This automatically prompts you for the folder fileset to remove reports from, as illustrated below:
Enter folder fileset to remove reports from: TESTFD1.ARCHIVE
Process folder - > TESTFD1.ARCHIVE
6 Reports removed from folder TESTFD1.ARCHIVE
