Maintaining the Data Vault Repository

Complete maintenance tasks on the Data Vault repository on a monthly basis. Schedule three to four hours to complete the maintenance tasks.

Stop the Data Vault components.

Create a copy of the current metadata database file.

Example:

$SSA_INI_DIR/meta.n00 $SSA_INI_DIR/meta.n00.current_backup

Manually start the Data Vault repository server.

Enter the following command:

ssaeng meta meta &

The following message appears:

Accepting connection

Enter the following command:

ssasql meta meta DBA/dba

The command prompt appears.

Enter the following commands:

alter session set dismountgc=4;

shutdown;

.exit

The garbage collection routine starts.

Optionally, to compact the repository, enter the following command:

ssadbchk -p meta

Performance remains the same whether you compact the database or not. Based on the internal database structure, the size of the database file size might decrease.

The following success message appears:

Warnings: 0 errors: 0

If you do not see the success message, restore the metadata database file that you created. Start Data Vault and send the error details to Informatica Global Customer Support.

Start the Data Vault components.

Verify that the Data Archive components start up.
