[ORACLE] Quick tips: Autonomous Health Framework (AHF) files cleanup.

Hello everyone.

 

How are you doing?

 

Today, I going to show you a quick tip about the AHF - Autonomous Health Framework.

 

In case your autopurge is off, and your disk space is slowing, you can do a manual purge.

 

And it's a simple operation.

 

1) Check the space

 

df -h

 

2) Lists all the files that would be deleted without deletion - as root.

 

For example, I'm only going to clear the last 10 days (my retention is 30 days). 

  

tfactl purge -older 20d -dryrun

 

 

 

3) Delete the files
 
tfactl purge -older 25d
 
I could run it using hours, for example:
 
tfactl purge -older 200h 

The full syntax and parameters are:

 

 

 

4) Check the space

 

 

5) To enable autopurge:

 

tfactl set autopurge=on

 

 

You can manage the options using tfactl menu:

 

tfactl menu

 

 

For more information: tfactl purge

 

And, there you go. The space has been cleared.

 

It`s as simple as that!

 

I hope this tip helps you.

 

Regards

Mario
