Purpose
This document will show you how to run/schedule the "Console Clean Up" ITScript to clean up your Patch Repository
The Patch Repository location is the path listed under "Patch download directory" in the Downloads tab under Tools > Operations (Tools > Options in 9.3)
The default location is C:\ProgramData\LANDesk\Shavlik Protect\Console\Patches
Symptoms
Your patch repository is taking up too much storage space storing old patches you no longer need
Steps
Go to Manage > ITScripts, and when it is done updating, close the pop-up if it did not close automatically
Under the "Maintenance" category, highlight "Console Clean Up" and click "Approve"
Then go to Tools > "Run console ITScripts"
The values listed are in Days (the default value for both is 180 days) - if you want to modify a value, double-click on the parameter you want to change (patchAge/deploymentAge) and enter the desired value
*NOTE - The patchAge value references how long ago the local patch file was downloaded/created (Date created), not the date the patch was originally published by the vendor (Date modified), so you may still see files with old dates under "Date modified" after running the script
When finished, press "Continue" to proceed to the scheduling options
Click "Run" to run immediately, or select the scheduling options you want and click "Schedule" (the "Run" button changes to "Schedule" when you select scheduling options)
