Part of the FileServ system routine processing includes:

Store and

Truncate Files Policies for storage and for data trunca tiona rerun a s part of
routine system processing. The standard method of running
routine operations is to have the operating system cron process
execute the operations. A root generated crontab is read and
registered with the ongoing cron process. The application of
migration and truncation policies is handled as part of this
process. The cron file contains many routinely executed by
UNIX commands.

Database

Maintenance The database used by FileServ is an intricate part of the
software. Access to the database is controlled through a process
called the Lock Manager. The Lock Manager is started by the
FileServ system administrator. The startupscript is called
lm_start and is located in the $FS_HOME/util directory. If
the Lock Manager is not running, FileServ will not start.
To prevent data loss and improve FileServ performance,
periodic database maintenancemust be performed.
