Altova FlowForce Server 2027 Advanced Edition

Reduces the size of FlowForce .db files if they contain deleted records. This command is particularly useful after running the archive-log or truncate-log system maintenance functions. You can also compact the database files via the FlowForce Server Setup Page.

 

Before compacting the .db files, you must stop the FlowForce Server and FlowForce Web Server services.
