Changing how often the scheduled job history is cleared

If your organization runs many scheduled updates or scheduled Automation Services jobs, history records can quickly pile up in the database. Spotfire Server automatically purges the history after three days, but you can change how often this occurs by editing the configuration.xml file.

Procedure

Export and open the Spotfire Server configuration file. For general instructions, see Manually editing the Spotfire Server configuration file.

Change the number "3" (which indicates 3 days) in the following section:

<scheduled-jobs>
  <!-- All the job executions older than the specified number of days will be automatically deleted. Default: 3 days-->
    <purge-history-older-than>3</purge-history-older-than>
    <!--Intervals in hours, Default: 12 hours -->
    <purge-history-interval>12</purge-history-interval>
  </scheduled-jobs>

Save the configuration file and import it back to the server. For instructions, see Manually editing the Spotfire Server configuration file.
