Archive finished job

When a job is completed, either through natural completion or termination, you can archive all related job details from the live tables to the finished tables to improve system performance.

Finished jobs can be archived only when the Archive mode is Manual. For more information, see "Archive mode" in Database settings.

As a best practice, move finished jobs to separate tables and maintain them in a separate database to help manage the database size.

The "Archive finished jobs" setting is selected by default. As a result, once a job is complete, the "Archive jobs" system task moves the job to the archive table. This helps keep the live jobs tables small and prevent them from continuously growing.

We recommend archiving finished jobs or purging them after completion, either immediately or on a scheduled basis.

Clear recording history

If you do not require the history of some jobs, clear the "Record history" setting in the process (Process properties > History, reporting, and execution tab).

Clear on archive

When a job is archived, the values of variables configured with the "Clear on archive" property are cleared to reduce database size. This applies to the following variable types:

For more information on configuring the "Clear on archive" property, see:

• Create a string and nullable string variable

• Create a data object variable

• Create a complex and a dynamic complex variable
