Deleting Checkpoints

The ActiveSpaces administration tool tibdg provides the checkpoint delete command to delete a checkpoint by its name or to delete any checkpoint by its ID.

Procedure

  • Use the following command to delete a checkpoint: 
    tibdg [-g <grid_name>] -r <realm_service_URL> checkpoint delete
[<checkpoint_name> or <checkpoint_ID>]

Result

This removes the checkpoint from the list of checkpoints, and then periodically, checkpoint directories which are no longer on the list are removed from disk.
  • Automatically Deleting Old Checkpoints
    The checkpoint_retention_limit configuration option can be used to ensure that the number of checkpoints does not keep growing and consuming disk space.
