Database Maintenance Cleanup

V10.6 and later

Overview

The database holds a lot of data for internal use only, that occupies a lot of space in the DB and impedes the system performance. For example, the UACT tables where data becomes useless after the instance is closed.

The scheduler jobs perform routine cleanup tasks in the DB, thus optimizing the DB storage and enhancing the system performance.

DB cleanup scheduler jobs

Following are the DB cleanup scheduler system jobs:

Job Description
Job Run History Cleanup Removes tail items from the job run history log.
Maintenance Log Cleanup Removes tail items from the system maintenance log.
Portal User History Cleanup Removes tail items from the Portal user history.
Backend Activities Data Cleanup Removes data from the Service and Error Handler activities tables of completed instances that are moved to the closed tables.
SSB Cleanup Removes inactive SQL Service Broker (SSB) queues.
DocumentSet Change Tracker Cleaner Removes track changes from the DocumentSet.
Rule Based Workflow Starter Log Cleaner
Removes logs of the rule based workflow starter.
