difference between xib_clean.x4 and xib_failover_clean.x4
Problem
-- Integrator provides 2 different tools to clean Integrator data : xib_clean.x4 and xib_failover_clean.x4
-- both are located in $CORE_ROOT/4edi/pgm
-- what is the difference between both tools ?
Resolution
* xib_failover_clean cleans does the same as xib_clean, but in addition, it cleans also the memory file used by the porter server
* here is the detailed description of the xib_failover_clean program :
/*
* The XIB failover cleanup program. This program should be run after a machine
* running XIB has gone down and before another machine (the failover machine)
* is going to take over.
*
* This program cleans the memory file used by the Porter server.
*
* The syntax of the XIB failover clean program is:
*
* r4edi xib_failover_clean.x4 [-nv]
*
* The -v (verbose) option can be used to make the program output progress
* information. The -n option tells the program to not clean anything.
* The -v and -n option together makes the clean program output what actions
* it would take without cleaning anything.
