# CompactDatabaseFile

Set `CompactDatabaseFile` to `True` to compact the user and agent database file (`gud.db`) at startup. If you have deleted a large number of users or agents, use this parameter to clean the empty space and compact the file.

After you compact the database file, Micro Focus recommends that you disable `CompactDatabaseFile` again to avoid wasting time by compacting the database file every time you restart IDOL Community Component.

Micro Focus also recommends that you make a backup copy of the database file before you compact.
