If you use the database for a long period of time, a massive amount of inventory and operational information will accumulate in the database. This affects not only the disk space that is used but also search and update processing, which can cause the response time of the database to decrease. We recommend that you periodically check the number of data items listed in this subsection by using CSV output (or some other means), and delete any unnecessary data. For details about the CSV output utility, see 9.1.1 Items eligible for output to a CSV-formatted file in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 1. Also, we recommend that you reorganize the database after deleting any unnecessary data in order to prevent database fragmentation, which is caused by deleting data. For details on how to reorganize Embedded RDB that is used as the relational database, see 5.2.1 (2) Reorganizing the database. If you are using Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle software for the relational database, see the relevant RDBMS documentation for details on how to reorganize the database.

(1) System configuration
- System configuration information
You can output destination types by using the CSV output utility, and check the number of registered items. Also, you can perform the maintenance operation on the system configuration to delete unneeded hosts. For details on how to maintain the system configuration, see 2.10.4 Maintaining system configuration information in the manual Description and Planning Guide. For details on how to delete unneeded deletion history, see 9.6.4 Deleting deletion history in the manual Setup Guide.
(2) Inventory information
- Software information
- Installed packages

For details on how to delete the information about the installed packages, see 3.2.7 Deleting software information in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume1.
- Software inventory
You can output the data about the software inventory by using the CSV output utility, and check the number of registered items.
For details on how to delete the software information from the software inventory dictionary, see 3.2.5 Filtering a software inventory in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 1.
By using Database Manager, you can delete the inventory information for the unneeded hosts at once.
For details, see 2.2.8 (2) Notes on inventory information of hosts not in the system configuration in the manual Description and Planning Guide.
- Job definitions
From the Job Definition window of Remote Installation Manager, you can check the number of registered jobs. Also, you can create a folder for saving jobs so that you can efficiently manage jobs. For details, see 8.3.2 Managing saved jobs and folders in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 1.
- Job execution results
You can output the results of job executions by using the CSV output utility, and check the number of registered items. Also, you may excute and delete jobs in the Job Status window, however, commands enable you to excute and delete jobs. For details on how to delete the jobs, see 8.5.1 Deleting a job in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 1. If you disable the recording of unnecessary job execution results, you can save disk space. For details, see 4.2.6 Log Options page in the manual Setup Guide.
(4) Packages
You can output package types by using the CSV output utility, and check the number of registered items. Also, you may excute and delete jobs in the Package window. Also, commands enable you to excute and delete packages. For details on how to delete the jobs, see 2.4.4 Deleting cabinets and deleting packages (managing packages) in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 1.
(5) Software operation information
- Operation logs
You can check the number of registered items from the MONRST.LOG log file that records the storage processing for the operation information. For details on how to store and delete the operation information such as the suppression and operation logs, and operation time, see 6.4 Collecting operation information in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 1. If you set automatic storage for the operation information, any storage operations are not required because the operation information is automatically stored to, and deleted in the database.However, if you set manual storage for the operation information, execute the command to save and delete the operation information. For details on how to delete unnedded operation information, see 2.6.5 Examples of managing operation information in the manual Description and Planning Guide.
- Backup directory for operation history
On the Operation Monitoring page, selecting the following check box enables you to check the size of the operation history that is saved in the backup directory.
Output a message to Event Viewer when the threshold value is reached
For details, see 4.2.14 Operation Monitoring page in the manual Setup Guide.
(6) Patches that are applied to client
In the Software Update Management dialog box, you can check the number of registered pathes. For details on how to delete unneeded patches that have already been acquired, see 7.1.1 Acquiring patches in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 1.
