ADOP Options: cleanup_mode

ADOP cleanup_mode

Run with adop cleanup phase.

Provides control over the extent of cleanup operations.

If no value is specified, cleanup is performed in standard mode, which does the same as quick mode but also drops obsolete code objects.

Values: quick/full

Purpose:

cleanup_mode=quick performs the minimum necessary cleanup to complete the online patching cycle. Use this mode if you want to start a new online patching cycle as soon as possible.

cleanup_mode=full performs all possible cleanup tasks for maximum recovery of space from unused database editions, objects and columns. Full cleanup is required after aborting an online patching cycle.

Usage:

adop phase=cleanup cleanup_mode=full

adop phase=cleanup cleanup_mode=quick

ADOP Options: actualize_all

Whenever adop prepare phase is initiated, a new patch edition is created in the database.During Online patching (ADOP) : An additional column ZD_EDITION_NAME is populated in the seed tables.As we do more online patching cycles, the number of entries for database editions will increase. This affects system performance and also increases cleanup time.When the number of old database editions reaches 25 or more, you should consider dropping all old database editions by running the adop actualize_all phase and then performing a full cleanup.

To drop older database editions, follow the below steps:

$ adop phase=prepare
$ adop phase=actualize_all
$ adop phase=finalize finalize_mode=full
$ adop phase=cutover
$ adop phase=cleanup cleanup_mode=full
