processed only when the ITO processes are next restarted. If corrupt
queue files prevent the server processes from being started, remove the
queue files.
1. Stop all ITO server processes:
/opt/OV/bin/ovstop
2. Remove a selected or all temporary files:
rm -f /var/opt/OV/share/tmp/OpC/mgmt_sv/*
3. Restart the ITO server processes:
/opt/OV/bin/ovstart

Maintaining the Database

To ensure that the ITO database runs efficiently, you should perform the
following tasks periodically:
Download history messages and audit information using the
Database Maintenance window.
To restore previously backed-up history messages or audit
information, see the opchistupl(1m) or opcaudupl(1m) man
pages in the HP OpenView IT/Operations Man Pages.
Backup the ITO configuration regularly. See the previous sections for
more informations on what backup possibilities are available in ITO.
Re-organize the database using opcdbreorg. This tool frees empty
pages and re-organizes the B-trees. For more details, see the
opcdbreorg(1m) man page.
If a very large number of messages have been produced—perhaps by
an inappropriately configured template—operators may find that
their Message Browser takes a long time to open. In this case, as
user root use the command-line utilities opcack or opcackmsg to
acknowledge these messages and move them to the history database.
For more details, see the opcack(1m) and opcackmsg(1m) man
pages.
