Tip: Inordertopreventattemptsatdeletingdatabaseobjectswhichmightstill

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.
