Deletion of EMMs Based Upon Age
By executing the dbOptimizer program with the -d option, and then specifying the
number of days, the system deletes unneeded EMMs that are older than the number
of days specified.

Deleting excess staging EMMs based upon the age of the EMMs does not change
your entry in the crontab file. After initial installation of the DNCS Utilities, you can
change your crontab entry by running the setDbOptCron script, described in Change

System operators usually have no need to review information concerning
which specific DHCTs on their system have staging EMMs older than a
specified age. System operators obtain similar information by running the
dbOptimizer program with the -h option, discussed in the previous
section, List EMMs by Age (on page 9).

dbOptimizer -d [number of days] -i > /dvs/dncs/tmp/dbOptimizer.info.out
2>&1 and then press Enter.
Example: Type
dbOptimizer -d90 -i > /dvs/dncs/tmp/dbOptimizer.info.out 2>&1 and then
press Enter to display a list of DHCTs that have staging EMMs older than 90
days. Assume the date is November 20. The system considers EMMs assigned to
DHCTs on August 21, or earlier, to be older than 90 days.
Result: The system writes the list of DHCTs with staging EMMs older than the
number of days you specified to the /dvs/dncs/tmp/dbOptimizer.info.out file.
Note: Depending on the size of your system, it may take 2 to 4 hours to prepare
this file.
