Automatic Purge of the Delete Log Database

If you wish, you can have Calendar Server automatically purge entries in the Delete Log database.

The following table describes the parameters in the ics.conf file that control the automatic purge.

Table 18–1 Configuration Parameters for Automatic Purge of the Delete Log Database

Parameter	Description

caldb.berkeleydb.purge.deletelog.interval	Specifies the interval time in seconds to automatically purge entries in the Delete Log database (ics50deletelog.db). The default is 60 seconds.
caldb.berkeleydb.purge.deletelog.beforetime	Specifies a time in seconds before which to purge entries in the Delete Log database (ics50deletelog.db). The default is 86400 seconds (1 day).

For example, to have Calendar Server automatically purge Delete Log database entries every five minutes (600 seconds) that are more than 2 days old (172800 seconds), set parameters in Automatic Purge of the Delete Log Database as follows:

service.admin.purge.deletelog="yes"
 caldb.berkeleydb.purge.deletelog.interval=600
 caldb.berkeleydb.purge.deletelog.beforetime=172800

After you set these parameters, restart Calendar Server for the new values to take effect.
