How can I improve the maintenance process for the TSF database so that the database is more efficient?
There are a number of things that can be done but keep in mind this includes either purging records after a shorter retention period or stopping the collection of certain records. Each of these methods results in less data being available for review within the database. See the Purge command in Appendix D, TSF Console Commands of the TSF Mainframe User Guide for modifying the retention of the various records. Note: No space is reclaimed in the database after purging records until a REORG has been done. Another method of reducing the size of the database is to prevent recording of certain record types. See SMF Scan Settings Panel in Chapter 5 of the TSF Installation Guide to understand the various record types that are collected.
