    Hi,

    I would like to know how do we schedule a shrinking of Database at SQL Server 2008 for scsp_logs?

    I see the solution provided by Chuck Edson in the below symantec connect discusson. However i so not see the doc which was attached earlier.

    Can i get that doc please...

    Thanks in advance.

    Which Doc are you looking for?

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH112966  (How to [manually] purge events from the Symantec Critical System Protection 5.0 database)

    There is a built-in feature that runs the above automatically..  

    See:  http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH116375 (Enabling Purge Events in the Symantec Critical System Protection (SCSP) 5.2.3 Management Console Generates Errors in Sis-server.0.log).

    Could you please tell me on how to perform this below commands (including the navigation)?

    Example: Removing old events
    The following example removes all Symantec Critical System Protection events that are dated March 10, 2006 and earlier:
     

    • USE SCSPDB
      DELETE FROM CSPEVENT WHERE EVENT_DT<= '2006-03-10 23:59:59:999'



    Example: Removing new events
    The following example removes all Symantec Critical System Protection events that are dated February 3, 2006 and later:
     

    • USE SCSPDB
      DELETE FROM CSPEVENT WHERE EVENT_DT>= '2006-02-03 00:00:00:000'
