Purging Data on a Schedule

Purging Data on a Schedule

The Task Scheduler Wizard enables you to schedule purges for the following types of production data separately or all at one time for a given namespace:

• Events

• Messages

• Business processes

• Rule logs

• I/O logs

• Host monitor data

• Managed alerts

To purge data automatically at regular intervals, do the following:

1. Navigate to System Operation > Task Manager, and then select New Task.

2. Fill in the following fields:

   • Task name — Specify a name for the purge task.

   • Namespace to run task in — Select the namespace where you want to purge data.

   • Task type — Select Ens.Util.Tasks.PurgeOpens in a new tab.

   Various settings for purging data appear.

3. Modify the setting for purging data as needed.

   For more information, see Settings for Purging Data.

   Caution:

   Purges are irreversible and can lead to unintentionally orphaned data or the loss of unresolved requests. Consequently, InterSystems recommends that you carefully review the description of each setting before proceeding.

4. Specify other options as needed.

   For more information, see Using the Task Manager.

5. Click Finish.
