AW: [ISSForum] Database shrink for RSDB

Subject: AW: [ISSForum] Database shrink for RSDB
Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2004 08:36:27 +0200
First of all: Thanks to everyone who sent hints!

I had partially success. My db is down to 7 GB but only after setting the
date to Aug 15:

USE RealSecureDB
Go
EXEC iss_PurgeObs  '8/15/2004'
EXEC iss_PurgeMetrics  '8/15/2004'
EXEC iss_PurgeSD  '8/15/2004'

and an additional

DBCC SHRINKDATABASE (RealSecureDB, 10)

I also followed KB#2600.

I wonder how I could reduce it more since I have only about 12000 events
shown. Is there a chance to e.g. remove data for Internet Scanner or
RealSecure Sensor because we only use RSDP without having side effects?

Thanks again,
Sandro


I think that it's better to use iss_PurgeObs and iss_PurgeSD 
procedures.

Try this script. It gets todays date.  and deletes records 
from 150 to 20
days ago. You can play with the number of days to keep and 
you might need
to increase from 150 days ago if your database is large.

Don't forget to reorg and shrink the database after. You may 
also need to
sort out your log file if removing thousands of records in one go.

declare @today datetime
declare @fromdate datetime
declare @todate datetime
select @today= getdate()
select @fromdate= @today - 150
select @todate= @today-20
exec iss_PurgeEvents @fromdate , @todate , 100

shrink for RSDB










Hi there,

I'm trying to shrink the RealSecure SiteProtector (SP4.1) db 
which is about
11 GB (!).

I first used the Database Maintenance feature in SP Console with
autopurge/autoshrink enabled, no luck.

Then I followed KB#1146 to purge the db using the following 
sql procedure:

USE RealSecureDB
Go
EXEC iss_PurgeObs  '1/1/2004'
EXEC iss_PurgeMetrics  '1/1/2004'
EXEC iss_PurgeSD  '1/1/2004'

followed by KB#2342:

DBCC SHRINKDATABASE (RealSecureDB, 10)

also with no luck.
As I'm not an MS SQL guru I hope to get some hints from you guys.

Thank you in advance,
Sandro
