Offline Tar Compaction for Data Store - AEM 6.1 SP2 CPF13

[Dharanya]

Hi,

We have our author instance running on AEM 6.1 SP2 CPF13 where we have an external File Data Store to maintain assets (asset count - more that 1 lakh).As part of Adobe's recommended maintenance window I knew that there is an Offline Tar Compaction activity available for Segment Store and Datastore GC activity available for File Data Store.

As the DataStore GC is an online activity, do we have offline tar compaction activity for External Data Store?

Thanks in advance.

As Kautuk suggests - this should be in the docs. Also - see this KB - Oak Offline Compaction - Improve performance, avoid memory issues and track progress
