> ### Database maintenance job templates

> Database maintenance job templates are Fathom-supplied, specialized job templates from which you can create job instances to address fundamental OpenEdge database maintenance activities. Fathom Management provides these predefined job templates to:

> - Ensure that you can quickly and easily set up and initiate maintenance routines for your OpenEdge databases.
> - Standardize the information you want used when these routine activities are performed.
> - Define schedules for the various types of maintenance routines you perform for your OpenEdge databases.

> Using these job templates allows you to institute what can be considered a Fathom "best practices" approach to ensuring specific database activities are accomplished routinely for your OpenEdge database.

> Note: Fathom Management also provides a database maintenance job template to be used only with the FathomTrendDatabase. This job template is called Trend Data Compaction (dataCompaction). See the FathomTrendDatabase Guide and Reference for information about this job.
