Scrubbing

Scrubbing controls the growth of a VOB's storage pools and database.

Two utility programs, scrubber and vob_scrubber, are included with DevOps Code ClearCase®. The DevOps Code ClearCase scheduler runs these programs for all VOBs on a host, on a daily or weekly schedule, using default settings that specify what should be scrubbed. The default settings, while conservative, are often adequate to manage the growth of moderately active VOBs. To learn more about scrubbing schedules and parameters and how to tune them to the needs of individual VOBs, see Scrubbing to control VOB storage growth.
