A Task Schedule is a timed task that occurs on a Check and Posting Service Host or on a workstation. These tasks perform database-related functions that increase performance of the device.
Purge C&P DB data older than 7 days: Cleans the Check and Posting database for records older than seven days.
Purge WS DB data older than 7 days: Cleans the workstation database for records older than seven days.
Update C&P DB Statistics: Runs an Update Statistics command on the Check and Posting database.
Update WS DB Statistics: Runs an Update Statistics command on the workstation database.
The purge jobs clear check and totals information, along with message requests that are stored in the local database.
