Configuring Archive and Purge Intervals

To eliminate the unnecessary accumulation of processed job tickets and temporary files, the Domain Manager provides a means for archiving job tickets and for purging job tickets and temporary files.

To support the InSight Rendering fault tolerance mechanism, XML job tickets and temporary files used by business services are stored and retained.

Note: Perform this domain-level procedure on only one repository in a domain.
To specify the job archive and purge intervals:
  1. In Domain Manager, select the Configuration tab in the left pane.
  2. At the top of the directory tree, right-click Domain and select Properties.
    The Domain Properties dialog box opens.
  3. In the Domain Properties dialog box, select the General tab.
  4. Under Job Archiving, define the following:
    1. From the Archive Machine list, specify the repository that handles the tasks of archiving/purging job tickets from the database.
    2. In the Purge Age box, specify the age (in days) at which archived job tickets whose age exceeds the purge interval are purged.
    3. In the Archive Age box, specify the age (in days) at which processed job tickets whose age exceeds the archive interval are archived. The archive interval must be less than purge interval.
  5. Under Temporary files (com platform only), do the following:
    1. In the Delete Age box, specify the age (in days) at which saved temporary files whose age exceeds the delete interval are deleted. On an hourly basis, files are deleted based on each file’s date/time stamp.
    2. Clear the Use network shared folders setting to disable network sharing among the local SharedTemp folders. It is selected by default and is required for InSight.
    Note: Clearing the Use network shared folders setting can result in inconsistent versions for output documents in a multi-server environment.
  6. Click OK.
  7. To save your change, choose File > Save.
    Every midnight the archive server archives processed jobs and purges archived jobs based on the intervals that you defined.
