Strategi Tracking File and History Cleanup Commands
Product: Strategi
Modified Date:

There are three Strategi commands that have been made available for safely cleaning up old files and for removing old records from transaction tracking and connection tracking data files (SGITT and SGICT). If running Strategi V1R9+, the cleanup process can be automated by using the Strategi Values CLEANUPCONNECTIONS, CLEANUPDELETEDDIRS, CLEANUPFILES and CLEANUPTIME. See the Strategi Administrator's Guide for more information.

Periodically performing the RMVSGIFD and RMVSGICNN commands should increase performance related to Strategi's emulation applet. By removing records based upon timestamp information, the Strategi Adminstrator can control which records are removed from the files based upon a "creation" date. Hence records deemed irrelevant based upon timestamp information can be safely removed without adversely affecting the Strategi environment.

Note: These commands are available only in Strategi V1R7M1 with PTF SGI171P007 or in V1R7M2 or higher.

Should you have any questions regarding the use of these commands, please consult the command Help Text or contact BusinessLink Technical Support.
