8.3.4.2 Executing the Alert Purge Utility

To execute the Alert Purge Utility, follow these steps:

1. Verify that the Behavior Detection database is operational: tnsping <database instance name>
2. Verify that the <INSTALL_DIR>/database/db_tools/mantas_cfg/install.cfg configuration file contains the correct source database connection and logging information.
3. Access the directory where the shell script resides: cd <INSTALL_DIR>/database/db_tools/bin
4. Start the alert purge shell script: run_alert_purge.sh

   Executing this command sets the environment classpath and starts the utility.
