HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 Installation and Configuration Guide for HP-UX

Configuring task results manually

To configure the short and long task lifetimes manually, 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.
