Ciscoworks RME 4.2 rmeng databases

Question

Wondering how I can truncate, purge, rotate etc the SyslogFirst, SyslogSecond, SyslogThird database files.
They are currently huge (14 GB, 12 GB, and 28GB) and I could use the space.                   

Answer 1

Hi Kristen,
Procedure for cleaning up the db space:
Prerequisite, execute the following commands in the server, under
NMSROOT\CSCOpx\bin:
STEP 1) pdterm RMEDbEngine
STEP 2) pdexec RMEDbEngine
This is to ensure that there are no active connections to the database which is a must for dropping/recreating db space.
STEP 3) I'm attaching a DBSpaceReclaimer.class file. Please copy it to a temporary directory, example: e:\Temp and issue the
Following command:
STEP 4) E:\Program Files\cwlms3\lib\jre\bin\java -cp ;E:\Program Files\cwlms3\lib\classpath;E:\Program
Files\cwlms3\www\classpath;E:\Program Files\cwlms3\MDC\Tomcat\webapps\rme\WEB-INF\classes\;E:\ProgramFiles\cwlms3\MDC\tomcat\webapps\rme\WEB-INF\lib\log4j.jar DBSpaceReclaimer
STEP 5) Restart daemon manger after completion of above task.
For example:
E:\Program Files\cwlms3\lib\jre\bin>java -cp e:\Temp;E:\Program
Files\cwlms3\classpath;E:\Program Files\cwlms3\www\classpath;E:\Program
Files\cwlms3\MDC\Tomcat\webapps\rme\WEB-INF\classes;E:\Program
Files\cwlms3\MDC\Tomcat\webapps\rme\WEB-INF\lib\log4j.jar DBSpaceReclaimer
NOTE: this is one command.
Thanks-
Afroz
