What Does This Command Do? ​

The reclaim command performs three cleanup operations to free up disk space in your HANA database:

  1. LOB Space Reclamation: Frees up unused space in LOB (Large Object) storage
  2. Log Reclamation: Reclaims space from transaction logs that are no longer needed
  3. Data Volume Defragmentation: Defragments data volume 105 to optimize storage

This command is particularly useful after large delete operations or when disk space is running low.

Examples ​

Basic Usage ​

bash
hana-cli reclaim

Execute all three reclaim operations with default connection.

Using Admin Connection ​

bash

With Custom Connection ​

bash
hana-cli reclaim --conn my-db-connection.json

Quiet Mode for Scripting ​

Run reclaim operations with minimal output for use in scripts.
