edited Aug 16 '12, 11:10 a.m. by Jared Burns (4.4k●2●9) Hi, I have a customer who uses RTC and RRC and DB's are getting bigger and bigger. In one and half year RTC DB has reached to 108GB. It's a huge number according to my previous experience and the main reason of this growth is that we always check-in the packages(war,ear,jar files) created by a build to the component. And we are going to keep using like that and DB's will keep growing. I dont think there's a way to archive some data by giving a timestamp right now. Maybe after two year(2014), we wont need the data of today(2012) Will there ever be such functionalities? I was wondering if it is feasible to expect such a methodology? |

Hi Canberk,
maybe part of the solution would be to change the strategy binaries are stored (and possibly stop uploading all build results systematically). My colleague Ralph has provided an answer you might be interested in here : https://jazz.net/forum/questions/65400/generating-a-release If this is not an option, you might be interested by the new feature in 4.0 for deleting file content from the repository (requires administrator credentials) - https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.team.scm.doc%2Ftopics%2Ft_scm_eclipse_delete_file.html - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFMiEanEELo Regards, Stéphane Leroy Jazz Jumpstart |

I also believe that they should stop checking-in all the binaries to the repository but the ant script are build to support automatic attachment of the binaries. May be we should create different build definition for continuous builds and other definition for releases.
And creating a release also could be option, we might create release packages by using that option and delete the other build results. I see that deleting build results delete the content from the repository. I believe it will also delete the binaries attached to that build result, am I right? |
