Automated Task Persistence Garbage Collection and Archiving

In this release, an administrator is able to schedule and modify jobs with specific parameters using the Cleanup Submitted Tasks task to clean up and archive task and event information in the task persistence database and also delete these recurring tasks as needed.

From the System Tab, you can launch a wizard by selecting Cleanup Submitted Tasks. From there, the wizard walks you through setting up and scheduling jobs and whether or not to archive the data. You can also choose to delete the recurring jobs when needed by selecting Delete Recurring Tasks from the System Tab.

By scheduling the tasks to clean up and archive task data, the potential for performance problems or system outages are greatly reduced. With the archive feature, you can back up the tasks to the archive database before deleting them from the runtime database. If you need to go back and view these deleted tasks, select the Search the archive check box on View Submitted Tasks to search and view a list of all tasks that have been deleted and archived.
