Optimize Rules
Use the Optimize Rules scheduled process to regenerate item rule scripts and store them in the database.
You can regenerate the rule scripts after any server restart. This regeneration helps to optimize the performance of rules when they're processed.
When to Use
After you create or update and rule set and save it, the scripts are automatically generated and saved. However, after a rule set is saved, if you’re changing the metadata connected with any of the item rule sets, you should use the Optimize Rules scheduled process to regenerate the item rule scripts. Or, you can initiate the scheduled process from the Manage Item Rule Sets task to optimize the rules.
Privileges Required
- Manage Item Rule Set (EGO_MANAGE_ITEM_RULE_SET_PRIV)
