| Retain job history for x days
|
Select this option if you want to save history for completed processes in the queue. The default for this field is to retain process history.
If you do not retain process history, process entries are deleted from the queue after they run, fail, or get cancelled. If the process entry has an alert pending, the process entry is deleted after the submitter has been notified.
If you do retain process history, process entries are deleted from the queue after the number of days that you enter in this field.
If the job has an alert pending, the process entry is deleted after the specified number of days and only after the submitter has been notified.
Deltek strongly recommends that you
do not enter zero, which saves the process history indefinitely.
|
| Retain Errors for x days
|
This option allows you to set a limit on the number of days that the server retains error reports for successful processing runs. Deltek strongly recommends that you
do not enter zero, which saves the reports indefinitely.
