Hi,

What regular maintenance tasks should we be doing for CLM please?

This is on a websphere windows server, using DB2 on Linux.

Best wishes

 Hi Mark

We don't recommend users to run these commands unless there are some specific issues.

repotools -deleteJFSResources 
repotools -compactdb
repotools -reindex
Database Reorg and Runstats

For maintenance activities in CLM we suggest backup information mentioned in this URI:

For running any any repotools command, please raise a PMR with Support.

Thanks & Regards,
Madan

Hi,

We run the IBM shared service and as such our databases grow with projects coming and going.
The DB's and indexes are being updated constantly. We need a way to remove and clean up old data, along with ensuring that the servers run at optimal efficiency.

Best wishes

Mark.

 Hi Mark

As regular maintenance tasks, please ensure the following:

1) Ensure you take full offline backup of CLM databases on DB2 server on a daily basis.
When taking the backup, you should stop the WAS profiles hosting CLM applications.

E.g. db2 BACKUP DATABASE jts TO C:\Installers\DB2\Newbackup
Repeat this for all the other CLM databases.

2) Parallely take complete folder backups of JTS_HOME\server directory so that the indices folders are backed up when Databases are backed up.

3) You could take Websphere profile backup using this step on a weekly basis:

START WAS profile hosting CLM, and then cd to 
<WAS_INSTALLATION_ROOT>/AppServer/profiles/<PROFILENAME>/bin folder
Then Run the Command --backupConfig.bat <Backup_File_Name_Date_WITH_PATH>.zip

Thanks & Regards,
Madan

HI,

Many thanks, we already do all this. My question was more directed to Repotools commands etc run on a regular basis to perform reindex, or deletes etc.
Also, do you recommend any DB activities?

Many thanks

Mark.
