Database Utility - Repair and Compact Tab

Use this tab to repair and compact selected Kofax Capture databases.

Repairing restores the internal consistency of a database. Compacting permanently removes records marked as deleted, reorganizes the contents of the database, and may save some disk space.

If you select Oracle or IBM DB2 as your database configuration, the Database Utility Repair and Compact tab is disabled.

Repairing first, and then compacting a database typically produces the best results.

Note Be sure to stop all Kofax Capture modules, including unattended modules, before repairing or compacting a database; otherwise, an error occurs.
