Work Directory

Do not delete files stored under the $MQ_COMMON_DIR/work folder. This folder does not grow significantly and is not expected to have many files.

If you are using a lot of attributes for which data type is defined as FILE, the files are stored under $MQ_COMMON_DIR/work. As these files are version ed, the space required to store data will increase proportional to the number of attributes defined as file and versions of such records.

Scheduling Database Maintenance

TIBCO recommends scheduling a file clean-up job to run at periodic intervals. To do this, use the tibcrontab.sh /.bat sample script found in MQ_HOME/bin. This job deletes temporary files created by TIBCO MDM. The sample script can be edited for different retention periods.
