Overview of the Directory Cleanup Utility

The directory cleanup utility, spdsclean, is located in the InstallDir/site directory of your SPD Server installation. You use 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 has a simple command-line interface. You can control the level of cleanup performed and the behavior of elements that are used in the utility by specifying options.
CAUTION:
Use the spdsclean command-line utility only when SPD Server is not running.
Do not run spdsclean when the SPD Server 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. Such a violation can permit concurrent access to file structures that were not designed to support concurrent access.
