Recording the size of the OnBase database can be very useful in predicting the amount of space it will consume in the future. This is instrumental in proper capacity planning as well as noticing trends in business activity throughout the year, as increased database activity can affect system performance.
It is also important to ensure that the location of the OnBase database does not run out of disk space. Databases do not react well when they run out of space. Recording the amount of free space, as well as the growth rate of the OnBase database, will allow the OnBase Administrator to proactively address potential disk space issues.
