How to: Optimize a Model Store for Runtime
Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012
This topic describes how to optimize a model store after changes have been made to the models that it contains. The optimization commands perform a series of steps that optimize the model store for run-time performance. As part of this process, the database that contains the model store is re-indexed and has a DBCC SHRINKDATABASE command performed on it.

By default, the optimization steps that this topic describes are performed when a model is installed for the first time. These steps are also performed if the number of elements in a model increases by more than 50 percent when the model is reimported, or when the model store that contains the model is imported.
We recommend that you manually optimize a model store after you have completed significant deletions, insertions, or updates.

In versions of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 prior to Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, the model store tables are stored in the same database as the business data. If your environment contains a large combined business and model store database, we recommend that you avoid running the Microsoft Dynamics AX optimization command. Instead, we suggest that you create a Microsoft SQL Server maintenance plan that reindexes the database.
You can use either Windows PowerShell cmdlets or the AXUtil command-line utility to perform this task.
Drain client connections and validate permissions
Drain the client connections that are connected to the Application Object Server (AOS) instance that you are working with. For more information, see Drain users from an AOS.
Validate that you have appropriate permissions to work with the model store:
Administrative permissions on the local computer
System Administrator rights in Microsoft Dynamics AX
In Microsoft SQL Server:
Membership in the Securityadmin server role on the SQL Server instance
Membership in the db_owner role in the Microsoft Dynamics AX database
