Cleaning Up the Siebel File System
This topic describes how to clean up the Siebel File System by
removing orphan records using the Siebel File System cleanup utility, sfscleanup. Orphan records are those that remain if a user
deletes a parent record in the application that has associated child
records. The child records are not deleted from the Siebel File System
with the parent record and so you must remove them by using file system
cleanup utility.
The Siebel File System cleanup utility is named sfscleanup.exe on Microsoft Windows or sfscleanup on UNIX operating
systems. This utility is located in the bin directory
within the Siebel Server root directory.
The sfscleanup utility processes records for every
file in the file attachment directories (the att subdirectories)
of the specified Siebel File System directories and performs one of
several operations to each record and file, depending on the file
type and on the parameters that you set. Optionally, you can run sfscleanup for a limited period of time and resume the operation
again later.
For information about running sfscleanup, including
descriptions of the file types and the associated operations performed
by sfscleanup during processing, and the run-time
parameters you can use for the utility, see the information that follows.
