Runs several smaller cleaners as a group on a regular schedule for WorldServer garbage collection.
The list of cleaners included in the general cleaner follow. You can also choose to run the metadata cleaner, projects cleaner, and segmented assets cleaner on the same schedule, if you prefer.
- Translation Memory Attribute Cleaner
- Cleans up custom attributes on Translation Memory that have been removed in WorldServer. It removes orphaned TM attribute columns from all partitioned TM tables in the database. Dropping all TM attribute columns from all TM tables is a lengthy process that is relegated to this Garbage Collector Cleaner.
- Completed Background Task Cleaner
- Collects all completed background tasks. This cleaner runs at garbage collection time and removes any background tasks which were completed at least 7 days ago. This time interval can be adjusted. Contact WorldServer Technical Support.
- Expired Sessions Cleaner
- Cleans expired sessions from the database. Every time a user logs into WorldServer, a session is created for that user. If the session is not accessed for a certain configurable amount of time, the session expires and the user must log into the system again. The session expiration time can be set using the
session_timeout property in
general.properties.
- Workflow Doctor
- Repairs many known types of workflow corruption.
- Term Database Attribute Cleaner
- Cleans up custom attributes on Term Databases (TDs) that have been removed in WorldServer. It also removes orphaned TD attribute columns from all partitioned TD tables in the database, a rather lengthy process.
- Workflow Cleaner
- Removes obsolete workflows that are not in use by tasks and which can no longer be accessed in any way. These are usually historical workflows which have been replaced by newer versions, and which no active tasks in the system are executing.
