Database maintenance

You need to maintain the IBM® Content Manager OnDemand database to keep it performing in an optimal manner. IBM recommends that you run the following database maintenance tasks on a regular basis:
  • Expire index data that has reached its life of data and indexes period.
  • Migrate indexes to archive storage, if your organization needs to keep indexes for some period of time after users no longer need to retrieve the documents to which they point. Migrating indexes to archive storage is not recommended.

If you do not run these tasks on a regular basis, they might take an extended period of time to complete when you do run them.
