How to Estimate Space Requirements for a VLS File

For more information on space requirements for the VLS files installed with CA IPC, refer to the Installation and Maintenance Guide.

It is impossible to determine exactly how much space a VLS file requires. Because of data compression algorithms, the exact space required by a VLS library is a function of the data itself. In addition, you rarely know how much data is to be stored on the file. Use the following guidelines to gain an initial estimate of the space required for a VLS file. For actual numbers, refer to your IBM documentation.
