Runtime Maintenance Cleanup

An important part of maintaining system health is periodically cleaning up the runtime environment. Over time, runtime artifacts accumulate and can impact system performance.

Sybase Unwired Platform lets the Platform Administrator and Domain Administrator automate cleanup of accumulated data items at the domain level. Types of data that are eligible for cleanup include: synchronization cache, online cache, client log, error history, and subscriptions.

Set up a schedule for each of these categories, so the clean up processes run when system usage is low. You can also manually purge accumulated data items at any time; however note that for domain logs, if the number of domain log data is very large (one with hundreds of thousands of entries for example) then Unwired Server must purge domain log data asynchronously. You can use the Administration API to automate clean up at the package level.

Sybase also recommends manual cluster-level cleanup for unused devices and users.
