Note the following when working with tasks and
archiving:
- When a task is canceled, it remains in the
database until garbage collection.
- When a task is completed, it also remains
in the database for at least 30 days (default). After 30 days, it
can be removed during garbage collection.
It
does not matter if a task is canceled or completed; it always remains
in the database. Only the garbage collector removes it from the database
after a configured number of days.
A property
configures the default amount of time a task remains in the database.
For information about adjusting this time interval, contact WorldServer
Technical Support.
- A task is always archived after it is completed
successfully, even if the project with which the task is associated
is not completed. Therefore, a completed task can coexist in the active
tables and archive tables in the database for a period of time, until
garbage collection.
- Archive tables are never garbage collected.
For information about cleaning up the archive tables, contact WorldServer
Technical Support.
