Deleting Periodic Checkpoints

Periodic checkpoints can be manually deleted using tibdg. tool. Additionally you can specify a checkpoint_retention_limit to ensure that the number of checkpoints does not keep growing and consuming disk space.

For more information on retention limits, see Retention Limits. As mentioned previously, the number of checkpoints to keep for your data grid can be controlled by using the grid configuration option:
  • checkpoint_retention_limit (Default: 0)
The default checkpoint_retention_limit is 0 which means that older periodic checkpoints are not removed.
