Configuring task results manually
To configure the short and long task lifetimes, edit the globalsettings.props file.
• The long lifetime defaults to 30 days. To change that time, edit:
MX_JOB_MAX_COMPLETED_JOB_AGE=30
• Task results for frequently scheduled tasks start to drop off after 10 instances. To change this value,
edit:
MX_JOB_MAX_COMPLETED_JOBS_PER_TASK=10
NOTE: The limit of 10 task results applies to scheduled tasks with the "job-log" flag enabled in the
tool definition. Scheduled tasks for the tools with the "job-log" flag disabled have a limit of 1. This value
is not configurable.
• By default, the last task results for a scheduled task is kept indefinitely. If you want to keep more than
1 job, edit:
MX_JOB_MIN_COMPLETED_JOBS_PER_TASK=1
NOTE: This many job instances per task is kept regardless of the
MX_JOB_MAX_COMPLETED_JOB_AGE setting.
