Introduction
Each time a cable service provider registers a service with the Service
Application Manager (SAM), the DNCS assigns the service a unique
service ID and, in some cases, a new URL. These URLs are stored in
the bulk.tbl file, which is located in the /dvs/dvsFiles/SAM directory
of the DNCS.

the bulk.tbl file, which is located in the /dvs/dvsFiles/SAM directory
of the DNCS.
One of the conditions of the DNCS that the Doctor Report monitors is
the size of the bulk.tbl file. When the bulk.tbl file grows too large, the
SAM server may be unable to generate valid SAM files. DHCTs may
then reboot and display a black screen.
the size of the bulk.tbl file. When the bulk.tbl file grows too large, the
SAM server may be unable to generate valid SAM files. DHCTs may
then reboot and display a black screen.
The bulk.tbl file has a maximum file size limit of 65 KB. The Doctor
Report displays a warning when the file size exceeds 45 KB and
displays an error message when the file size exceeds 55 KB. When the
Doctor Report displays a warning or an error message about the
bulk.tbl file growing too large, system operators should run the
chkSamUrl utility. The chkSamUrl utility allows system operators to
delete unused SAM URLs from the DNCS, which reduces the size of
the bulk.tbl file.
