This results in better appli-G  cation performance, better backup performance, and more efficient disk I  utilization. Disk File Optimizer operates in two modes. In "Defrag PLUS" G  mode, RMS is used as a database of scheduling information, and defrag- H  mentation jobs can be scheduled using a wide variety of scheduling cri-F  teria. In normal "Defrag" mode, defragmentation jobs are run when re-E  quested by the user. The user or system manager can specify which of >  these two modes should be used when the product is installed.  =  The key capabilities of Disk File Optimizer for OpenVMS are:   G  o  Reduces file fragmentation and freespace fragmentation for disk de- 	     vices   G  o  Provides the ability to defragment specific files or an entire disk   E  o  Gives the user the capability to select or exclude specific files 
     based on:        -  User choice        -  Severity of fragmentation  .     -  Whether the file has placement pointers  $     -  Whether the files are indexed  ;  o  Provides event based scheduling of defragmentation jobs   D                                                            July 1999  D                                                          AE-Q6M7H-TE       E  o  Provides a Monitor function which allows File Optimizer processes &     to be monitored while in operation  D  o  Allows pre- and post-processing commands to effect automation of<     tasks before and after defragmentation jobs are executed  E  o  Gives the user the ability to classify files as "hot" (frequently H     accessed), or "cold" (infrequently accessed) and to have them placed!     on the disk drive accordingly   F  o  Provides two modes of operation to tailor to the specific customer     environment   J  o  Offers a choice of Digital Command Line (DCL) or Motif[R]-based Graph-F     ical User Interfaces. This is available for both Defrag and Defrag     PLUS modes.   D  o  Provides an offline defragmentation utility that allows the userF     to defragment INDEXF.SYS on a disk device that is not mounted. ForD     a bound volume set this utility only works on the "ROOT" volume.    HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS  E  Disk File Optimizer is a layered software product on the OpenVMS op- F  erating system for both VAX and Alpha hardware platforms.
