Takeaway: Making Realignment Smoother

Understand the pros and cons of the performance tools, and make sure they fit well with the process and timing of your realignment. Always test these tools and new realignment processes in a sandbox environment so you know what to expect.

Here are some specific suggestions.

• If the time required to recalculate sharing is affecting your overall realignments schedule, consider using parallel recalculation of sharing rules.
• Consider whether it is more efficient to:
  • Set aside specific maintenance windows
  • Defer organizational or sharing rule maintenance while processing your updates

    While making your decision, remember that deferring organizational maintenance will require recalculating sharing rules for all objects.

    Note

• If you have encountered issues with organizational locking, compare the maintenance you perform regularly with the increased concurrency allowed by granular locking. You might be able to increase throughput by allowing some operations to safely run in multiple threads with granular locking turned on.
