In this article, I tried to explain what Optimization Advisor is and how to use it. It’s a nice feature, but the recommendations here should be tested first in test environment. Each parameter has different effects on the system. Some settings may be deliberately different in the project design. You shouldn’t change it just because you saw it here and considered it correct.
