    Posted Jul 31, 2017 12:42 PM

    Hello All,

    Greetings!!!

     

    I need to retain 3 months instances of Process instances on Project object, others in CA PPM and delete the instances previous to it by scheduling a Job.

    There are couple of objects like these, whose data needs to be retained.

    Below is the list of Data whose instances need to be deleted.

    Could you please suggest a way forward?

     

     

    Project - 3 months to be retained(July, June, May)

    Task - 1 month to be retained(July)

    Custom Object - 3months(July, June, May)

     

     

    Thanks and Regards,

    Sai.

    The job will delete all the instance based on dates, there are no way to filter on each object and dates.

     

    You would have to take the table level back up and run the delete process instance job.

    I do not understand why this was not post, but just auto saved.

     

    Please educate me. I n 15.2. it certainly looks that you can select the object. Am i missign something?

     

    If you look at the parameters of Delete Process Instances job you can see that allows to set the object type (in 15.2)

    So you can schedule the job differently for those three.

    Hi Martti,

     

    You can certainly select object but what I understood was you want to keep data of specific object and delete everything else, and there is no way to exclude but you select all other objects and not select the objects which you need to keep. 

     

    But if the volume of process instance is high its always worth to back up the table and keep the data for auditing purpose and purge the instances for better performance
