Unschedule a job:

# /usr/TiNa_Path/Bin/tina_job_control -cancel -jobid <ID_Job>

Stop catalog

Put the catalog in maintenance:

# /usr/TiNa_Path/Bin/tina_catalog_ctrl -maintenance
Catalog MyCatalogName: state = OK activity = Maintaining

Then stop it:

# /usr/TiNa_Path/Bin/tina_catalog_ctrl -stop
Catalog MyCatalogName: state = OK activity = Stopped

Backup the catalog:

Catalog size

# du -sh /BACKUP/TiNa/catalogs/catalog_$(date +%d-%m-%Y).cod 
3.8G    /BACKUP/TiNa/catalogs/catalog_2024-09-23.cod

Backup the catalog (may take a long time):

# /usr/TiNa_Path/Bin/tina_odbsave -catalog MyCatalogName -file /BACKUP/TiNa/catalogs/catalog_$(date +%Y-%m-%d).cod

Delete old version of catalog :

# rm -fr /BACKUP/TiNa/Data.MyCatalogName.old

And rename the current catalog to .old

# mv /BACKUP/TiNa/Data.MyCatalogName /BACKUP/TiNa/Data.MyCatalogName.old_$(date +%Y-%m-%d)

Defrag the catalog:

Defrag and Rebuild the catalog from last backup file (very long 20-25min):

# /usr/TiNa_Path/Bin/tina_init -file /BACKUP/TiNa/catalogs/catalog_$(date +%Y-%m-%d).cod -catalog_name MyCatalogName

Catalog size

# du -sh /BACKUP/TiNa/catalogs/catalog_$(date +%Y-%m-%d).cod 
1.5G    /BACKUP/TiNa/catalogs/catalog_2024-09-23.cod

The catolog should be lighter
