Overview of the SPD Server Directory Cleanup Utility spdsclean

You use the SPD Server cleanup utility spdsclean to perform routine maintenance functions on the following types of directories:
  • directories that you use to configure SPD Server storage
  • directories that SPD Server uses for working storage
  • various system-specific directories that are designated for temporary files
The spdsclean utility uses a simple command-line interface. You can control the level of cleanup performed and control the behavior of elements that are used in the utility.
CAUTION:
Use the spdsclean command line utility only when SPD Server is not running.
Do not run spdsclean when the SPD Server host is running. The directory cleanup utility does not ensure that files in the SPD Server cleanup area are not in use by others. Some cleanup actions can violate SPD Server file integrity, which permits concurrent access to file structures that were not designed to support concurrent access.
