We are using MS SQL 2005 and currently the size is almost 4 GB. (Been using Sysaid for 9 month now and have 3500 ServiceRequests)

Anyone else that would like to comment. I don't know if this is normal

Hey JSH.

Please check what is the size of the SysAid database LDF file.
If it is bigger then a few hundred MB, you can shrink it by backing up your database.

4GB is a pretty large size but can be reasonable if you are using SysAid to audit a large number of assets or if you attached a lot of files into SysAid.

Best regards.

The LDF-file is only 3-4 MB

Just did a shrink on it. (shrinking the database on a weekly basis)

Hi JSH,

same found here

I've posted almost the same question a few weeks ago.

I think it is all about windows updates. Everytime a client gets a windows update the table 'computer_history' grows No secret that every 2 weeks there are a few updates available which leads to that issue, that the size of the table 'computer' gets added to the table 'computer_history'... and on my installation this is growing the database...

So I've started a Feature Request to avoid those updates being logged, hoping that it'll keep my database lean.

Can you find out WHAT database table is growing that fast?
I found a real nice stored procedure* around the internet and will attach it here for your convenience

Best regards,

EbroIN

[edit]
* = This is only the executed part of the stored procedure! You must generate a stored procedure for your database to integrate this script! Thanks to JSH he informed me about my ambiguous post here. So create a new stored procedure and post the SQL statemenents here. I've left all comments from the author inside this script (as told, I've found this script in the internet).

When running the SQL as a new query I get the error :

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 46
Incorrect syntax near 'END'.

Oops, copied too much. You have to include this query into a stored procedure or this won't work.
I've removed the END command so this won't bother you anymore -> Thanks.

I cannot provide a complete SQL Solution for you, so you need to use SQL Studio Express (or something like this) in order to wrap this script inside such a wrapper (assuming your database is named ilient as default):



This will create a stored procedure....

You then need to execute the stored procedure with the following SQL commands (still assuming that your database is named ilient and the freshly created stored procedure is named helpers_tableInfo)



Alternatively you can simply create a new stored procedure using the SQL Server Management Studio.

SQL Server Management Studio --> Ilient --> Programmability --> Stored Procedures <-- RIGHT CLICK
Select --> New stored procedure

Paste the above code (including the pasted script - use the text editor of your choice) inside the Query Window (clear all existing code before) and hit APPLY only ONCE. This will create the procedure.

Afterwards you need to refresh the view (hit F5) and right click on your new stored procedure (it should show up by now).
Select --> Execute stored procedure --> Confirm with OK

This should do the trick...

I'll just modify my previous post and cut the last line (containing the END command)

Hope this helps,

best regards, EbroIN

We have nearly 600 service requests, and a database on 1 GB, still in the built in Derby database.

Hi DK_Sysaider,

how many assets are you monitoring using sysaid?
I suppose that computer_history is the "largest" table within my complete configuration...

Hello everyone.

We have found that the "computer history" can grow too much in size on some cases.
We have identified the issue and we are working on a minor patch that will resolve this issue.

Meanwhile, if the computer history grow too much you can truncate it to keep the database size down until the fix will be available.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience

Best regards.

Sorry for the late responds, we are monitoring about 70 Assets..
I think it's is, we have one problem in the Activity log, this is shown all over:

  • Software Product Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130) version changed from null to 1.7.0069.2

  • Being "updated" at every inventory check, at the most assets. It gives quite an log I guess .
    I saw something earlier on the forum that there was a fix for this underway, and it could be in the version 6, but its still an issue.
    But we can live with it.

    DK_Sysaider,

    Please check if you are using version 6 of the agent on the machines who are having this issue as this issue should have been resolved in version 6 of the agent.

    EbroIN,
    We have postponed the official release of patch 6.0.07 to include this fix in the final edition, I hope we will have the patch ready by the end of the week.

    Best regards.
    Haim
