Removing Job Information
Purpose: to increase performance and free up disk space when you run
very large numbers of jobs.
SD-UX stores small amounts of information (such as job status or
controller or agent logfiles) about each job. You can display this
information from the Job Browser or with swjob. Keeping very large
numbers of job information files may affect performance and reduce the
usability of the Job Browser.
Running swconfig, swcopy, swinstall, swremove, or swverify with the
autoremove_job command option set to true prevents SD-UX from
storing the job information. (The trade-off is that you can not view the
job information except by viewing log files.)
swinstall -s sw_server -x autoremove_job=true \
MySoftware @ hostA hostB hostC
You can also use the -u option to remove all old job information:
swjob -u \*
You can also remove individual jobs from the Job Browser (see
“Removing a Job” on page 229.)
