Manage the Task-persistence Database to Improve Runtime Performance

Every Administrative UI task stays in the task-persistence database indefinitely or until removed by an administrator. You can remove tasks from the database and free up disk space by scheduling cleanup tasks. The cleanup tasks let you manage the size of the task-persistence database and improve runtime performance.

Every task exists in the task-persistence database in one of the following states:

• Audit State

  A task in the audit state has been initiated in the Administrative UI, but not submitted. For example, View tasks are initiated in the Administrative UI, but are never submitted.

• Submitted State

  The submitted tasks are tasks that have been submitted for processing in the Administrative UI, but that are not yet complete.

• Completed State

  The completed tasks are submitted tasks that completed processing. The completed tasks include tasks that:

  • completed processing successfully and tasks.
  • failed to complete processing successfully, but are nonetheless complete.

The cleanup tasks can remove tasks in the audit state and completed state from the task-persistence database. The cleanup tasks cannot remove submitted tasks that are still pending.

You can schedule, modify, and delete cleanup tasks through the following two options:

Clean Up Submitted Tasks

Use this option to schedule new cleanup tasks or modify existing ones.

Delete Recurring Tasks

Use this option to delete scheduled cleanup tasks.
