Unused jobs and logfiles in project folder...

[stefanfrost1]

Hi,

I browsing through the project folder on our produktion machine and i am seeing thousands of job directories that hasn't been run for over a year. We recently removed alot of unused jobs using manager but i am afraid that the RT_LOGSxxxx, RT_BPxxxx, RT_BPxxxx.O, RT_CONFIGxxxx, DS_TEMPxxxx.

I wish to delete any unused item and their corresponing files. Will they be removed using REINDEX or is there any way for my to list any unused file based on any vaild id in the repository?

What will happen if i remove these 1 year old files using rm?

Catastrophe if you use rm, so don't. You need to be aware of the fundamental interconnectedness of all things in the Repository.

Why not switch to Detail view in Manager which shows the date/time modified and select jobs from there for deletion?

You can also get a list from DS_AUDIT.

Code: Select all

SELECT * FROM DS_AUDIT WHERE EVERY DTM < '2006-01-01';

I've now purchased the premium membership and as i don't know when it will become available to my dsaccount I cannot read your entire post just yet. However its impossible that some of these files have valid jobs since the oldest job (run/compiled) i can find is from februari and some files are from last september.... so i am wondering how and why they are still in the unix library (hence my rm question)....

With exclusive access to the account run DS.CHECKER. This will remove orphaned files associated with any incompletely deleted jobs.
