Re: Compacting of Traveler *.dat files
These are the Traveler database files, and depending on the number of users you have and the number of records they are syncing, this can grow large. But often once the database has allocated some space for data but then the data is removed, the space is not freed up. So if space is becoming an issue, there is a command you can use to defragment the database and compress the records. We recommend backing up the ntsdb directory first if you have room. You can delete the backup after the defragged version is working.
1) Shutdown the traveler task using "tell traveler quit"
2) Once traveler is down, load it back using
load traveler -defrag
3) You will see the defrag process running at the start of the traveler load, similar to :
> load traveler -defrag
