Distributing cache files for UNIX
You can distribute the Rational® Synergy
storage root directories anywhere across local file systems of networks
using NFS. The most common and useful method for distributing the
directories is to move the cache subdirectory to a separate file system.
You move the cache directory and set up a symbolic link. You must
copy all files under the cache directory to a subdirectory readable
and writable by userccm_root. Verify that this
directory exists. If it does not exist, create it.
Cleaning objects from the database cache
The ccm clean_cache command
clears objects that were archived and that match specified or default
criteria. By default, cleaning the cache removes archived cache files
of non-modifiable objects that are older than 14 days and not used
in work areas. Cache files for object versions that were not archived
are never deleted.
Deleting cache files
The contents of the source attributes
of an object are stored in files in the cache directory,
under the database storage root (st_root). When an
object transitions to the integrate state, it triggers the source
file to be archived. Objects in the integrate, test, sqa, released,
and rejected states are archived. The CM administrator
can use the ccm clean_cache command to remove these
archived cache files on demand and to select specific cache files
to remove.
