Administrators can use the Optimize Tables command to compress the Tekla EPM database.

1. Click the File ribbon tab in the upper-left corner of the Tekla EPM window.
2. On the File menu, select Administration.
3. Click the Administration ribbon tab.
4. On the menu, select Optimize Tables.

   The Optimize Tables dialog box opens, and the compression process starts.

   The more information is saved into Tekla EPM, the longer the compression process takes.

5. In the Optimize Tables dialog box, review the result of the compression process.

   • Optimized shows the number of files that were compressed.

   • Optimization Not Required shows the number of files that did not need to be compressed.

   • Errors Found shows the number of errors that were found in the compression process. The errors are also listed in the Optimize Tables dialog box.

6. To close the dialog box, click the Close button (X) in the upper-right corner.
