3.8 Deleting spool jobs
Spool jobs stored on a spool increase in size while they are stored in a spool directory. Therefore, make sure that you periodically delete old spool jobs to free up disk space.

How to delete spool jobs
To delete spool jobs, enter the adshhk command below. For details about how to specify the adshhk command, see adshhk command (deletes spool jobs).
adshhk target-list-file-name report-file-name log-file-name [number-of-days]
Before you execute the adshhk command, specify in the file indicated as target-list-file-name the necessary information, including the name of the spool directory that contains the spool jobs to be deleted.
The adshhk command's execution results are output to the file whose name is specified in report-file-name. The execution results are also output to trace logs.
Error messages are output to the file whose name is specified in log-file-name.
Spool jobs that have existed for more than the number of days specified in number-of-days are deleted. For example, if you specify 2, spool jobs that have existed for 2 or more days are deleted.

Report file created by the adshhk command
When the adshhk command has executed, the execution results are output to a report file. In the following example report file, the header information is output on the first line:
"jobid","jobname","rc","start date","end date","act","info","spool","target days","execute date" "000056","JOB001","1","2011/06/13 09:03:31","2011/06/13 09:03:31","delete","","C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Hitachi\jp1as\jp1ase\spool","15","2011/06/30 18:19:58" :- Legend:

The first line of the execution results contains the headers listed below. The subsequent lines display the values corresponding to the header items.
Header
Meaning
jobid
Job ID
jobname
Job name
rc
Job's return code
start date
Job's execution start date and time (in the format yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss).
The spool allocated to the debugger itself when the job was started in the debugger mode is used to output the debugger's logs, not the job execution results. Therefore, the debugging start date and time are output.
end date
Job's termination date and time (in the format yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss).
The spool allocated to the debugger itself when the job was started in the debugger mode is used to output the debugger's logs, not the job execution results. Therefore, the job termination date and time are not output.
act
Applied action (keep: save, delete: delete, error: an error occurred during deletion processing)
info
Detailed error information
spool
Spool directory
target days
Target days
execute date
Command execution start date and time (in the format yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss)
- Important note
-
If the spool directory contains any user-specified file or directory that was not created by JP1/Advanced Shell, the adshhk command outputs a message such as KNAX4419-E, and then terminates.
