The Optimizely <<product-name>> database contains a Nightly Maintenance stored procedure which cleans up abandoned shopping cart records, maintains the application log, and removes obsolete scheduled task records. The Nightly Maintenance stored procedure should be scheduled to run each night during non-peak hours.
