All the files created and the database references to them are stored for a set amount of time in
order to allow Connect to reuse them. However, we do not want to store these indefinitely,
because the database would run out of space. The solution is to use the "Clean-up Service" to
remove the temporary data and files once they are no longer needed. This clean-up service is
usually managed by the Server Engine.
Tip
The more items that are present in the database, and the larger they are, the more time
and processing power (CPU) that will be required for cleaning them up. Thus a regular
Clean-up of the database (as often as possible)is recommended.
This is especially the case if items are not going to be retrieved from the database at a
later date. i.e. If the Connect job is not going to be re-run.
The clean-up can always be set to run outside of business hours (see the Run
according to the cron schedule option below), to reduce impact upon Production
systems.
The values below define when the specified targets are to be set as being ready for deletion,
not when they are actually deleted. The actual deletion occurs only as per the cron job
scheduling; or when PlanetPress Connect is started (if Run at application start up is
selected); or when the Run Now button is pressed.
l
Enable clean-up service: Check to enable the Clean-up services. When checked, either
or both of the Database clean-up and File clean-up services can be set individually.
If the box is not checked, then no Clean-up will occur.
l
Run at application start up: Click to start the clean-up service when the Designer
module is opened, or the Managing Service is started.
l
Run according to the cron schedule: Enter the interval at which the Clean-up service
runs.
To understand how to write a cron job schedule, please refer to the excellent Quartz
Scheduler reference page.
