  • 1.  IO_PURGE vs. on the fly purge

    Posted Mar 17, 2009 06:22 AM
    Reading the last post regarding that topic, I understood that on-the-fly-purge is an old technique and replaced by IO_PURGE. Parameters regarding on-the-fly-purge in uxsetenv should be commented or deleted.
    Is that right?
    I was told
    - IO_PURGE replaces uxpurge delivered in uproc IU_PUR
    - each purge deletes entries in different file, so they are complementary.

    In an earlier post we also adjusted the parameters for IO_PURGE in file u_purge_param.ref to the definitions for the on-the-fly-purge in uxsetenv

    Please tell me whether I should replace on-the-fly-purge by IO_PURGE or not.

    Thanks a lot

    Hi Monika,

    both uxpurge and on-the-fly-purge (AKA continuous purge, handled by the Launcher) are indeed replaced by the new online purge (composed of a dynamic purge performed by the Launcher and of a non-dynamic purge performed cyclically by the IO server) as of release V5.3.3 of Dollar Universe.

    Parameters regarding on-the-fly-purge in the uxsetenv* and *.def files should be commented or deleted, but only for the sake of clarity, as when you activate the new online purge (by setting variable U_IO_PURGE_ENABLE to Y and defining the u_purge_param.ref file), the existing settings of the on-the-fly-purge are ignored. I would recommend to comment them though /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

    uxpurge should not be executed any more.

    So you should replace uxpurge and on-the-fly-purge by the new online purge (IO_PURGE as you call it).

    As usual, I would recommend to test the change in a test environment before going live.

    Hi Michel,

    Thanks you for the answer.
    I will then remove the definitions of on-the-fly-purge.

    Just one remark:
    I ran uxpurge to test if there is still something to delete in any of these files.
    Both newer purges do not completly replace uxpurge.

    Regards
    Monika

    Hi Monika,

    have you been able to understand which elements are being purged by uxpurge and not by the new online purge? Then we would go for a reproduction test.

    If you have the information, I would suggest you post it here and also open a call at Dollar Access. I'll work with them so we detect what can cause this.
