Maintaining application group data
About this task
Note: The OnDemand server must be running, otherwise
the maintenance commands will fail.
You can use the STRDSMOND and STRASMOND commands to maintain application
group data in the database and on disk and archive storage. These
maintenance commands determine the actions to take from parameters
that you specify and by retrieving storage management information
from application groups. The commands can do the following for your
application groups:
- Copies report data from disk storage to archive storage
- Expires report data from disk storage and archive storage
- Migrates index data from the database to archive storage (if required, although not recommended)
- Expires index data from the database
You typically schedule the maintenance commands to do these things on a regular schedule. If your organization loads a high volume of data into the system every day, then we recommend that you schedule the commands to run after all load processing completes. For low to average volumes, you might choose to run the maintenance commands weekly. You should schedule the commands to run during a period of little or no other activity on the system.
