Space Command Line Interface
In order to interact with a secured grid you need to log in first. See Using the CLI in a Secured Environment.
Clean
Syntax
gs> space clean [variable [value]]
Description
Removes all Entries and templates from the space.
The space clean command is relevant only for spaces in a started state.
When using a persistent space, the clean operation might take some time because it needs to erase data and close database connections. It should not be called when other clients are using the space.
Specifying a container URL prints a numbered list of all the spaces in the container. You can then choose which space to clear, or all (clears all spaces).
Specifying a URL of a clustered space prints a list of all spaces in the cluster, and you can choose a space to clear by its number, or all (lists all spaces).
Using -c (or -cluster) with a URL of a clustered space clears all cluster members.
Options
| Option | Description | Value Format |
|---|---|---|
| url | The URL of the space you want to clear, or of the container – clears the spaces under that container. | Container URL: jini://localhost/my_container Space URL: jini://localhost/my_container/mySpace |
| cluster / c | Clears all spaces in the cluster. | |
| template | The template for the class of objects you want to remove from the space. | com.j_spaces.examples.benchmark.messages.MessageSerializable
|
| help / h | Prints help – the command's usage and options. |
The following prints a numbered list of spaces, and you can choose a space to clear by its number, or all (clears all spaces).
