AspartofthejobproductionprocessPrintShopMail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data-
base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.
Themoreitemsthatarepresentinthedatabase,andthelargertheyare,themoretimeandprocessing
power(CPU)thatwillberequiredforcleaningthemup.ThusaregularClean-upofthedatabase(as
oftenaspossible)isrecommended.
Thisisespeciallythecaseifitemsarenotgoingtoberetrievedfromthedatabaseatalaterdate.i.e.If
theConnectjobisnotgoingtobere-run.
Theclean-upcanalwaysbesettorunoutsideofbusinesshours(seethe"Runaccordingtothecron
schedule:EntertheintervalatwhichtheClean-upserviceruns."belowoptionbelow),toreduceimpact
uponProductionsystems.
Thevaluesbelowdefinewhenthespecifiedtargetsaretobesetasbeingreadyfordeletion,notwhen
theyareactuallydeleted.Theactualdeletionoccursonlyasperthecronjobscheduling;orwhen
PrintShopMailConnectisstarted(ifRun at application start upisselected);orwhentheRun Now
buttonispressed.
