Tip
In order to prevent attempts at deleting database objects which might
still be in use, it is recommended that all Minimum time retention values
should always be set to at least the length of your longest job. Preferably
with some extra time added, for good measure.
For example, if your longest job takes 45 to 50 minutes to run, then set
the retention time to 55 minutes (or 1 hour) to ensure that all the
database objects created during job processing survive for the duration
of the job.
