Hi,

i am wondering what is the correct way to close a MboSet that is opened via MXServer.

In the last time i always used something like this:

mboSet = MXServer.getMXServer().getMboSet("SOMETHING",userInfo)mboSet.close()mboSet.cleanup()

The IBM Autoscript Documentation only says cleanup (in the example) -> Scripting best practices

A colleague of mine said he uses clear/close:

mboSet = MXServer.getMXServer().getMboSet("SOMETHING",userInfo)mboSet.clear()mboSet.close()

Can anyone explain the differences between clear, close and cleanup? What is the best way/combination to close a mboSet and remove it from memory?

Hi Andreas,

In my opinion differences between methods close and cleanup were described in really good way in this article: Closing MboSets

I also found blog post done by Bruno Portaluri: MBO Performance Tip N.6 – Free resources as soon as possible

Hi,

I was also in a small discussion.

Is a mboSet.save() the equal of mboSet.close()?
In other words. Does a .save() also close the set?

I wrote a post on this a while back in case it is useful.

Hi Jason,

Thank you for your reply.

I did read the blog, but I did not find the answer of my question.
If the .save() closes the set the correct way as a .close() would do.  (and the .close() is not needed then.)

However I learned something with your blog.
cleanup I never used. Didn't even know about this statement.
