Schedule cron Jobs

DMFS cron job

During installation, DataMgr puts entries in the root crontab that perform the tasks described below. If the default schedule does not suit your site’s needs, edit the cron file. For more information, see “Edit cron File” on page 3-10 .

On all DMFS Clients, the crontab performs the following jobs:

•Nightly at Midnight: Runs the

/etc/dmfs/usr/utils/dmfsscan utility, which migrates client files based on configured watermarks. For more information, see “Back Up Databases” on page 3-6 ,and refer to the Utility Reference in System Administrator’s Guide to Using DataMgr.

•Sunday at 1 a.m.: Runs the

/etc/dmfs/usr/utils/dmfsaudit utility, which synchronizes databases. For more information, refer to the Utility Reference chapter in System Administrator’s Guide to Using DataMgr.

•Nightly at 11:45 p.m.: Runs the

/etc/dm/usr/utils/clearlog.sh script, which backs up the SSD log to /etc/dm/log/ssd/transfile and truncates the file. The SSD log indicates each record ID, bitfile ID, and file name that has been migrated by DataMgr. It also contains a file that registers all the AMASS transactions. After running the clearlog.sh script, DataMgr saves the SSD log as transfile.x. For more information, see “Save SSD Logs” on page 3-9 . The clearlog script also saves the current and last four system logs.
