Store and Truncate Files

Database Maintenance

Policies for storage and for data truncation are run as 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.

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 startup script 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 maintenance must be performed.
