Administering
WebSphere Commerce database
As a site administrator, maintain the WebSphere Commerce database and ensure that any WebSphere Commerce utilities and processes that load and retrieve data from the database is configured to connect to the database properly.
Database maintenance guidelines
A WebSphere Commerce site can experience significant performance degradation if its database is not properly maintained. To prevent performance issues, implement a data maintenance strategy to remove obsolete data, periodically reorganize database tables, and maintain current database table statistics.
Database Cleanup utility
The Database Cleanup utility provides you with the ability to delete objects from the database. It is recommended that you run the database cleanup periodically, especially if a lot of information changes in your database and your database includes unused tables or rows.
Cleaning the database
Use the Database Cleanup utility to delete unused or obsolete objects from the database.
Store objects

Deleting store objects

To delete store objects from the database, use the Database Cleanup utility.

Before you begin

If you are deleting a store, you must close the store first before you delete the store. The mark for delete flag is not supported. You must use the status flag (open/closed/suspended) first, and then use the mark for delete flag. It is the status flag that determines store access.

Procedure

From the WC_installdir/bin directory, run the following script:
- - ./dbclean.sh -object store -type specified -db dbname -dbuser user -loglevel loglevel -name storeId -instancexml WC_instance_root/instances/ instance_name/xml/ instance_name.xml
  - dbclean -object store -type specified -db dbname -loglevel loglevel -name storeId -instancexml WC_installdir/instances/ instance_name/xml/ instance_name.xml
- - ./dbclean.sh -object store -type specified -db dbname -loglevel loglevel -dbtype oracle -dbuser user -dbpasswd password -name storeId -instancexml WC_installdir/instances/ instance_name/xml/ instance_name.xml
  - dbclean -object store -type specified -db dbname -loglevel loglevel -dbtype oracle -dbuser user -dbpasswd password -name storeId -instancexml WC_installdir/instances/ instance_name/xml/ instance_name.xml
  Use host:port:sid for the database name for example, myhost:1521:mydb.
Examine the WC_installdir/instances/instance_name/logs/DBClean/DBClean.timestamp.log file.
