Routine
Processing
Part of the FileServ system routine processing includes:
Store and
Truncate Files
Policies for storage and for data truncation are run as part of
routine system processing. The standard method of running
routine operations is to have the operating system
cron process
execute the operations. A
root generated crontab is read and
registered with the ongoing
cron process. The application of
migration and truncation policies is handled as part of this
process. The
cron file contains many routinely executed by
UNIX commands.
Database
Maintenance
The database used by FileServ is an intricate part of the
software. Access to the database is controlled through a process
called the Lock Manager. The Lock Manager is started by the
FileServ system administrator. The startup script is called
lm_start and is located in the $FS_HOME/util directory. If
the Lock Manager is not running, FileServ will not start.
To prevent data loss and improve FileServ performance,
periodic database maintenance must be performed.
