Clean Up the Update File

The sepmd utility automatically writes each update it receives in the updates.dat file. To prevent the file from growing too large, we recommend that you delete processed updates from the file periodically.

To clean up the update file, use the following command:

sepmd ‑t pmdbName auto

sepmd calculates the offset of the first update entry that has not been propagated and deletes all the update entries before it.

Note: For more information about sepmd utility, see the Reference Guide.
