The Clean-up Service defines how the Connect database and the temporary files created
during Connect production runs are cleaned up after the production run has finished.
Note
As part of the job production process PlanetPress Connect uses a database for
intermediate storage and also creates various temporary "managed" files. These files
include data extractions, configuration files and any intermediate files created during the
production process. Connect keeps track of all these files through references held within
the Connect database.
All the files created and the database references to them are stored for a set amount of time in
order to allow Connect to reuse them. However, we do not want to store these indefinitely,
because the database would run out of space. The solution is to use the "Clean-up Service" to
remove the temporary data and files once they are no longer needed. This clean up service is
usually managed by the Server Engine.
