Compact the Data Index

You can reduce the space that the documents in the Content component data index take up by running a compact operation. In this operation, new documents fill up the space that has been created through the deletion of documents (similar to defragmentation).

You can compact the Content component data index

  • immediately, by sending a DRECOMPACT action.

  • at regular intervals, by setting up a scheduled Compact operation.

NOTE: You can automatically back up the Content component data index whenever you send a DRECOMPACT action. OpenText recommends that you back up Content before you compact.
