Configuring Automated Job Instance Cleanup

Home  Previous  Next

To Configure Job Instance Cleanup:

It is possible to configure the KM to automatically remove BEX_JOB_DETAIL job instances that meet set criteria. The options available are:

Keep all job instances. No job instances will be removed from the KM display on the PATROL Console.
Remove successful job instances after a certain time (i.e. only keep information on jobs that have failed).

This is the usual setting (and the default, using 24 hours). Backup Exec administrators would normally only want to keep information on jobs if they have failed - detailed information on successfully completed jobs does not need to be retained by the KM for longer than a one or two days.

Remove all job instance after a certain time.

Right-click and hold the mouse pointer on the Symantec Backup Exec application instance icon.The application menu appears.

1.Choose KM Setup > Job Instance Cleanup. The Job Instance Cleanup window appears
2.Select the desired removal method.
3.Select the desired removal time (if applicable). A time of zero (zero days, zero hours) will automatically select the Do Not Remove Job Instances method.
4. Click Accept.

The settings are saved to the PATROL Agent configuration database.
