Publisher Automatically Purges Transient Data of Old Jobs

Publisher automatically purges the transient data of completed scheduled jobs that are older than 365 days to improve system performance.

The scheduler tables of Publisher store the metadata of scheduled jobs, data XML, report output, diagnostic logs, and the metadata of report delivery. The large transient data in these scheduler tables can cause performance issues.

Once the report output has been purged, it can’t be restored. The definitions of the recurring jobs won’t be affected, and the recurring jobs run according to the job schedules.

The administrator can configure and reduce the retention period of the metadata of scheduled jobs to 90 days to improve the system performance.

If you need to retain report output beyond the system retention period, you can download the report output. See View Job History for a Specific Report, View Details of a Job History, Download Data from a Report Job, and Send an Output to a New Destination for instructions on how to download reports or deliver report outputs outside the Publisher application.
