Diminish size repository

[Miracleworker]

Hi;


We have some trouble controlling the size of our repository. We reached 350Mb on our central repository and want to avoid going over 1gig in time. Running repair or compact doesn't do much.
More worrying is that crashes leave us with non used space (we think)or deleting stuff doesn't seem to lower the size, as if Sparx keeps a mirror of all lost data.
Can you advise us to keep the size under control?

Greetings,

Eric

What repository are you using?

[Miracleworker]

We are using .eap Enterprise Architect  7.0.815

Have you tried a project transfer. With any luck that will only copy over the relevant items into a fresh database.

[Miracleworker]

That didn't work but ( ashamed to say :-/) a colleague mentioned to check the audit  enabler and to clean the log file. This lowered the database with 90%.You can joke behind our backs now.
But in the end problem solved.

Thanks,

Eric

It happens Eric, it happens...

You were not the first to stumble over this, and you won't be the last.

And thanks for posting back to tell people. Perhaps another reader of your post will avoid some grief.
