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
Contact
Technical Support for the latest version of the packtool.exe utility.
You need the packtool.exe utility for Sybase Unwired Platform 2.1
ESD#2 or later.
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.
- Single node installations – check in
UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir\UnwiredPlatform\Servers\MessagingServer\Data\OBR
- Cluster installations – check in
UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir\UnwiredPlatform\Data\Messaging\OBR
You need to look for the largest table, 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- Stop all Sybase Unwired Platform services including the Advantage Database Server
service.
In a clustered installation, make sure services on all the nodes are
stopped.
- Back up your ADS database files (all the files in the
OBR folder).
- Start the Advantage Database Server service only.
All Sybase Unwired Platform services except Advantage Database Server service must
remain stopped until the pack is complete.
- Open a command prompt window.
If this is a cluster installation, do this in any of the application server
nodes.
If you are running Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 2008, make sure you run
the command prompt as the Administrator.
- Navigate to
UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir\UnwiredPlatform\Servers\MessagingServer\Bin.
- Run packtool.exe, with no arguments.
After running packtool.exe, a new log file is created in
UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir\UnwiredPlatform\Servers\MessagingServer\Bin
in the format
yyyyMMddTHHmmssPackTable.log.
