Description
Use PURGEOLDTASKS
to purge Extract and Replicat tasks after a specific amount of time or when they have stopped gracefully.
You can indicate when to delete a task according to the following rules:
-
The task was last started a specific number of days or hours ago. If the task never was started, then its creation time is used as the basis for applying the rules.
-
The task stopped gracefully or never was started. This rule takes precedence over the time the task was last started. Use this rule to prevent abnormally terminated tasks from being purged.
