Disk File Optimizer for OpenVMS DFG V2.9
├В┬й Copyright 2005 Hewlett-Packard Development Company,L.P.
%LICENSE-F-NOAUTH, DEC DFG use is not authorized on this node
-LICENSE-F-NOLICENSE, no license is active for this software product
-LICENSE-I-SYSMGR, please see your system manager
Is there just an "analyze" type of command without actually trying to do a defrag?
Anyone have an idea on how much a license costs? And I guess if it does cost money, how does it's value compare to a 3rd party product? I remember using Diskeeper a long time ago...it worked very well at the time.
Cheers,
Art

Re: Is DFO "free"?
TANSTAAFL. You can do:
$ DEFRAG SHOW
without a PAK loaded. But if you want to do anything about the report, you have to pay ;-}
Sorry, no idea how much a license costs, you'll have to ask your local sales rep. The PAK enables all features.
>how does it's value compare to a 3rd party product?
"Value" I'm not sure about, but I'd guess DFG *costs* less, as the other products have many more bells & whistles.
With modern, large capacity drives, it's easier to keep files contiguous. Give them generous initial allocations and extend quantities. With a fairly modest investement in thought and time, you might not need a defragger at all. It's a handy tool to have, but consider spending the cost of the license on an extra disk. With sufficient spare capacity, COPY/CONTIGUOUS can deal with problem files, and SET FILE/EXTEND can keep them clean.

Re: Is DFO "free"?
Much later I used DFO for free space consolidation to create contiguous files. It was a nice time saver, because I didn't have to do BACKUP/RESTORE cycles.

Re: Is DFO "free"?
For us, the unused/free block consolidation is very useful.
Kind Regards,
John.
