Cleaning the database

Use the Database Cleanup utility to delete unused or obsolete objects from the database.

We can run the utility in the default online mode or in an offline mode to delete object records from database tables. If we are deleting objects that are stored in a table hierarchy that is not deeply or widely nested, run the utility with the default online behavior. If we are deleting a large number of objects from the database that are stored in a deeply or widely nested table hierarchy, consider running the Database Cleanup utility offline. By running the utility offline, we can reduce the performance impact of deleting these records in these types of hierarchies. See Database Cleanup utility.

Run the Database Cleanup utility from the Utility server Docker container, see Running utilities from the Utility server Docker container.
