Maintaining application group data

About this task

Note: The OnDemand server must be running, otherwise the maintenance commands will fail.
You can use the STRDSMOND and STRASMOND commands to maintain application group data in the database and on disk and archive storage. These maintenance commands determine the actions to take from parameters that you specify and by retrieving storage management information from application groups. The commands can do the following for your application groups:
  • Copies report data from disk storage to archive storage
  • Expires report data from disk storage and archive storage
  • Migrates index data from the database to archive storage (if required, although not recommended)
  • Expires index data from the database

You typically schedule the maintenance commands to do these things on a regular schedule. If your organization loads a high volume of data into the system every day, then we recommend that you schedule the commands to run after all load processing completes. For low to average volumes, you might choose to run the maintenance commands weekly. You should schedule the commands to run during a period of little or no other activity on the system.

See the IBM® Content Manager OnDemand for i: Common Server Administration Guide for more information about the STRDSMOND and STRASMOND commands.
