Hello,

Compressing an InfoCube does not require any business "downtime" for the system. This means that your operations can continue as usual without any interruptions.

However, we recommend performing this task during less busy hours, such as overnight or over the weekend. This is to ensure optimal system performance and to minimize any potential impact on your business operations.
