ADIC FileServ Version 4.0 600716 Rev A manual Daily, Monthly Bi-weekly

Administrative Tasks

The table below shows the suggested database maintenance intervals for each database utility.

Note

Although the terms “Normal Usage” and “Heavy Usage” in the table header are somewhat subjective and may have different definitions at different sites, in general, the checkDBALL script and keyBuildAll script should be run every 100,000 storage, retrieval, modification, creation, and/or deletion of files within the FileServ controlled DMAPI file systems.

Database Maintenance Script	Normal	Heavy Usage
	Usage
$FS_HOME/internal/chk_point/chk_point.pl	Daily	Daily
$FS_HOME/util/checkDBALL	Monthly	Bi-weekly
$FS_HOME/util/keyBuildAll	Monthly	Bi-weekly

Although FileServ must be terminated, the Lock Manager process must be active, to run the checkDBALL script. The script may be run by either user fsadm or user root.

ADIC recommends that the output of the checkDBALL script be redirected to a temporary file so that an analysis can be performed after the script completes it’s execution. This is accomplished as shown below:

#$FS_HOME/util/checkDBAll > temp_file_name

After the script completes it’s execution, the temp_file_name file should be analyzed for any errors.
