What is the primary function of the Exec sql-report hcache-build command?

The primary function of the "Exec sql-report hcache-build" command is to rebuild report cache tables. This command plays a crucial role in ensuring that the cached reports are constructed correctly and reflect the most up-to-date data available. When report cache tables are rebuilt, it allows the FortiAnalyzer to optimize the performance of report generation processes, leading to faster access to reporting data and improved overall efficiency when handling large datasets.
