HEEB 654, here's a summary of what's left and still needs to happen:
v| 1S needs to delete these 220 files
2 ISIS needs to re-run the script so the 56 files that failed will copy (I can request when #1 is
done)
3 Ineeds to run CMDFI against these 683 files (I can request)
4) We will need to have SIS create copies of the 96 files that fail because of incorrect file extensions and
then each file will need to be renamed (I can provide script)
5) jeeds to run CMDFI against the 96 files in #4 above.
ol ISIS can then delete the 999,000 files (I can inform them when this is safe (items 1-5 are
needed first)

not pet the original instructions that were provided 10 AIM back on. 12/13/05 to make room for
56 files not copied per the Robocopy script approved by the OT on 1/3/06.
The attached log shows the errors which reads "Not enough server storage is available to process this,
command”. By deleting the 220 files manually copied by SIS on 12/27/0S, there will be more than
enough room for the 56 files that did not copy and the Robocopy script from 1/3/06 can simply be run.
again to copy the missing 56 files.
The 220 files are located here:
