Repository Cleanup

One of the most critical first step is to save disk space and speed up performance by performing a major cleanup of the repository:

1. Apply the latest MIMM and MIMB Cumulative patches (in the application server and all MIMB Harvesting Agents).
2. Make sure that all Configurations are NOT on auto update.
3. Stop any scheduled operations, including all automatic metadata harvesting and database maintenance (MANAGE > Schedules).
4. Delete all unused / test Directories, Configurations, Models, Mappings, etc. (MANAGE > Repository).
5. Delete as many versions as possible (e.g. retaining the last few versions) of the remaining critical Configurations (MANAGE > Repository).
6. Delete unused model versions (MANAGE > Repository: Repository object > Operations > Delete unused versions).
7. Run the database maintenance to purge all deleted objects from the database (MANAGE > Schedules: Run Database Maintenance). Note that each database maintenance run purges deleted models for only 2 hours, therefore the database maintenance has to run as many times as needed until the log no longer shows any models to delete.
