Configuring task results settings
HP SIM removes old tasks and jobs created by those tasks. A job is the results of a task that ran,
either as a scheduled task or as a manually ran task. Tasks are removed according to the rules in
the following procedure. HP SIM keeps the maximum configured counts, whichever comes first.
Keep task results longer results in slower response time in HP SIM. For large installations (2000
or more systems), HP suggests reducing the scheduled task configurations by one half. For example,
5 tasks and 15 days.
Procedure 229 Configuring task results settings
1. Select Options→Task Results Settings. The Task Results Settings page appears.
2. To set the schedule for removing scheduled task results, enter:
• Number of results
The default maximum number of results retained per scheduled task is 10.
• Number of days
The default number of days scheduled tasks are retained is 30.
One job is always retained.
