Purging Solid Edge Embedded Client Unreferenced JT Override Datasets from Teamcenter

In Solid Edge Embedded Client (SEEC) when creating assembly features a JT dataset is created and uploaded into Teamcenter.  This assembly feature JT dataset is commonly referred to as a "JT override".  SEEC JT override dataset names take the form of "Ovr_<id #>" where <id #> is some system generated id number.

Whenever assembly features are added or modified to the existing assembly a new JT override file is created.  This process then leaves the original JT override file unreferenced and effectively orphaned in Teamcenter.  Over time these unreferenced JT overrides will accumulate and take up disk space.
 

In a Teamcenter command prompt run the "collect_garbage" command:

collect_garbage -u=infodba -p=infodba -g=dba -dataset

This command will collect *all* unreferenced datasets into a "WASTE BASKET" folder in Teamcenter:

WARNING: Do not simply delete all of the datasets collected in the "WASTE BASKET".  Review the collected datasets and make informed decisions on if those datasets need to remain in Teamcenter or can be safely deleted.  Whenever performing broad system maintenance utilities it is always prudent to have a good backup of Teamcenter.  For the purpose of these instructions, which is focused on unreferenced JT overrides we can safely assume that all unreferenced JT datasets beginning with the name "Ovr_" are SEEC JT overrides and are safe to remove.

Review the content of the "WASTE BASKET" and use "Cut" to remove all datasets that do not start with the name "Ovr_":

Once the "WASTE BASKET" contains only the unreferenced JT override datasets then run "collect_garbage" to delete all of the datasets remaining in "WASTE BASKET":

collect_garbage -u=infodba -p=infodba -g=dba -dataset -delete

All SEEC generated unreferenced JT override datasets have now been successfully removed from Teamcenter.
