As part of a regular administrative procedure, run the Pack Tool
utility to defragment and reclaim unused space within tables and memo files that the Advantage
Database Server® (ADS) data file uses. This will ensure that Unwired Server continues to run
in the proper state.
Prerequisites
Ensure
that you have sufficient free disk space for the packing process. The free disk space must
be at least the size of the largest table in
UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir\UnwiredPlatform\Servers\MessagingServer\Data\OBR,
including the sum of all three table files with the extensions
.adt,
.adi, and
.adm, Not all tables have corresponding
.adi and
.adm files.
Task- Make a backup of your ADS database files.
- Stop all Sybase Unwired Platform services except the Advantage
Database Server service.
In a clustered installation, manually stop the Unwired Server service on all
cluster nodes.
- Open a command prompt window.
If you are running Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 2008, make sure
you run the command prompt as the Administrator.
- Run packtool.exe, with no
arguments, from
UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir\UnwiredPlatform\Servers\MessagingServer\Bin.
This is the same server in which Unwired Server is installed in
single node environments.
After running
packtool.exe, a new
log file is created in
UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir\UnwiredPlatform\Servers\MessagingServer\Bin
in the format
PackTool_yyyyMMddTHHmmss.log.
Important: In a clustered
environment, you must use the latest version of the packtool.exe
utility. Contact Technical Support, or use the utility shipped with Sybase Unwired
Platform 2.1 ESD #2 or later.
