SLNet ReplicationBuffer large file

Solved1.15K views12th September 2023

paul farndell [DevOps Advocate]411 12th September 2023 2 Comments

Hi, we have a 64GB file within SLNet which is causing problems.  The file is called ReplicationBuffer and links to a replicated Element.  Is it safe to just delete this file?

Thanks.

Paul

Is the replicated element still in existence? There have been issues noted that the buffer can sometimes grow out of proportion when the element is deleted.

paul farndell [DevOps Advocate] commented 12th September 2023

Yes, the replicated Element is is still polling and being replicated to the other server okay.

In any case you can inspect and stop the specific buffer following this procedure - Inspecting the active replication buffers | DataMiner Docs

Thanks. And then can I delete the large file?

Simon Raine [SLC] [DevOps Advocate] commented 12th September 2023

Yes, stop the element, delete the file anyway.

Then to reduce the size of the buffer you can reduce or set the maxMinutesToBuffer in the relevant emlement.xml in c:Skyline DataMinerElements[ElementName]

Or follow the other procedure to inspect/disable the buffering if not needed.

Many thanks.
