Running compaction as a scheduled job

OpenEdge Management provides a default Database Maintenance job that you can use to run the compaction. This default job runs the compaction once each week on any data older than one month. By compacting only the most historical data, you can save some of the current data in the table and use it for more detailed reporting purposes.

You can determine at what time the compaction is run, and you can also change the job characteristics if you want to run the compaction more or less frequently. See the "Creating compaction job instances" section for detailed steps on setting up a compaction job instance.
