Retention policy updates

We know that streamlining your database is as important to you as it is for us. This is why we are taking our retention policies up a notch by adding the option to delete or archive non-terminal state jobs and queue items.

This new option is integrated in the existing retention policy component at the process level for jobs, and at the queue level for queue items. It is available via a new set of fields dedicated to uncompleted jobs and queue items, respectively.

The default values for jobs and queue items are as follows:

• Completed
  • The default duration is 30 days.
  • The maximum duration is 180 days.
• Uncompleted
  • The default duration is 180 days.
  • The maximum duration is 540 days.

Important: These defaults will be applied automatically starting in 4 months' time. Until then, you can change them as needed to suit your particular scenario.

You can find out more about this in Process data retention policy and Queue item retention policy.
