Completing a Database Restructure

If you have the Administrator role, you can complete a full restructure of a database (also called block storage cube) to reduce or eliminate fragmentation. This process also removes empty blocks.

Note:

It's best practice to only let users with the Administrator role complete the restructure of a database.

You can restructure a database by using either the Calculation Manager or Jobs Scheduler.

Tip:

To keep your database from getting fragmented, use Jobs Scheduler to run restructures regularly.

Schedule these restructures when users aren't using NetSuite Planning and Budgeting because this task can take a long time and use a lot of resources.

Important:

You can't undo this action.

To restructure a database by using Calculation Manager:

1. From the Home page, click the Navigator icon .

2. Under Create and Manage, click Rules.

   Note:

   You might need to turn off any ad blockers plug-ins to see the Calculation Manager window.

3. In the Calculation Manager window, under the System View tab, click Actions > Database Properties.

4. Database Properties opens in a new tab. Under Enterprise View, expand Planning, then NetSuite.
