Truncate a full ai file ?

[make]

Hi Peggers,

i have a little Problem with one of my ai files.
A mistake in a Progress Procedure has been writing data for aprox 10 hours ! in the ai file.
Now the ai has a size of 1,4 GB. Is there a safe way to truncate this ai file ?

You can truncate the ai file if you have another ai extent.

You need to get the system to switch to the next extent (rfutil dbname -C aimage new), and then you can deal with the growing extent. However to truncate the existing ai file (and actually shrink it) you will need to have the database down.

How about stopping the process that has been writing this ai?
