Universal Spool Remove
Universal Spool Remove (USLRM) utility provides the ability to remove component records from the Universal Command and Universal Event Monitor (UNIX and Windows only) Spool databases. Universal Spool Remove must be executed on the system upon which the database is located.
By default, spool records are not retained after they no longer are needed. Accordingly, it is not anticipated that the spool databases will become too large. However, on occasion, some records may not be cleaned up, making it necessary to remove them with the Universal Spool Remove utility.
Prerequisite to Running Universal Spool Remove
Before attempting to remove any records using Universal Spool Remove, ensure that the Universal Broker is not running on the local system.
While it is active, the Universal Broker, in its role as a local database administrator, actually "owns" and maintains an open reference to the spool databases. Any changes made to these databases outside of the Broker are not committed to the database while this reference is open. If Universal Spool Remove removes a spool record while the Broker is running, that same record will "reappear" the next time that the Broker commits an update to the database (for example, a new server component is started and recorded in the spool).
All spool records that are deleted as part of the regular component clean-up are permanent because those deletions are done via the Broker.
The functions that the Universal Spool List program provide are required for possible database clean-up (see Universal Spool List Configuration Options).
Usage
The Universal Spool Remove utility removes all records for a specified component ID from the Universal Spool databases.
Any errors encountered while records are being removed from a database will be reported, but will not result in the program being stopped.
Universal Spool Remove removes records as specified by the command options.
