Example

This example tidies up the instances of a procedure called HIRING. The procedure’s id is 1317. The procedure is defined on a machine whose machine id is 1:

swadm tidy_instances 1 1317 

This means that if the PROC_VER_NUM_INSTANCES value is set to 3 and the procedure called HIRING has the following versions and instances:

Version	instance_id
0.0	1
0.0	2
0.0	3
0.0	4
0.1	5
0.1	6
0.1	7
0.2	8

then the following instances will be removed (displayed in red) after the swadm tidy_instances command has been run:

Version	instance_id
0.0	1
0.0	2
0.0	3
0.0	4
0.1	5
0.1	6
0.1	7
0.2	8

Note that:

•

The PROC_VER_NUM_INSTANCES attribute relates to all old instances of a procedure. Each procedure instance is allocated an instance identifier. Each time a new instance is created the instance identifier is incremented by one.

•

If you were to perform a further edit on version 0.2 of the procedure HIRING then this would result in the following instance being removed (displayed in red):

Version	instance_id
0.0	3
0.0	4
0.1	5
0.1	6
0.1	7
0.2	8
0.2	9
