INFO: DG8_VCATxx library contains cached filed definitions

The information in this article applies to:

DataGate/400, Version 4.2 and Higher
AS/400

SUMMARY:

To accelerate the retrieval of file definitions of AS/400 files, DataGate keeps processed information about files in a library call DG8_VCATxx where xx is DataGate/400's version number.

MORE INFORMATION:

The DG8_VCATXX library is the file definition cache library. Normally you don’t want to clear this library because this enables faster loading of your file definitions when running DataGate/400. The “XX” suffix in the library name equates to the version of DataGate/400 that you’re running. To find out what version of DataGate/400 you are running go to an AS/400 command line and enter the following command:

DG8_40/RELDATE

(Note: Where DG8_40 is the library where you’ve installed DataGate/400.)

If you are in hard need for disk space, it is safe to clear the library.

NOTE: If you are receiving the following error, you will need to clear the library:

"Acceler8DB Error: Corrupt file definition cache member."
