Does the

specified job retention

The following factors determine whether and where a job is retained:
• The retention setting on the execution queue in which the job executes
• The retention setting on the generic queue (if the job is submitted to a generic
queue)
• The completion status of the job
• The retention requested by the user upon submitting the job (if retention was
requested)
If jobs are retained in queues, periodically delete the jobs that no longer need to
be retained.
