The Purge Settings define the configuration parameters to manage the purging of FlexDeploy execution data from the database repository, and purging of the artifacts stored in the artifacts repository. These settings should be carefully adjusted to meet your data retention requirements for audit, and at the same time purging data which is no longer required to ensure a high performing system.
| Property | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Purge Enabled | Indicates whether the purge process is enabled. Purge runs every 24 hours if enable, beginning with a few minutes after server startup. If you have concerns with running purge at some specific milestone deployment event, you can disable the purge temporarily. | ||
| Keep Success Count | How many successful project version builds to keep regardless of Retention Days (Operational)
| ||
| Keep Failed Count | How many failed project version builds to keep regardless of Retention Days (Operational)
| ||
| Keep Count | How many project versions to keep for each environment/instance regardless of Retention Days (Operational). This helps you keep a specific number of latest deployments so that you can revert back to previous versions if desired. | ||
| Keep Pipeline Executions by Release Count | How many pipeline executions to keep per release. | ||
Retention Days | How many days of execution data to keep.
| ||
Retention Days (Artifacts and Logs) | How many days to keep artifacts and execution logs. Artifacts and Logs are always kept for executions that are not purged due to Keep criteria, hence latest versions will always have artifacts and logs. |
Purge Rules
- Any workflow execution that is the last successful deployment to an environment is automatically excluded from the purge.
- The four KEEP related parameters override the
DAYSparameters (e.g. ifRetention Days is1 day, anything which was deployed more than 1 day ago AND is one that needs to be kept to satisfy theKEEPparameters will be retained). - The
Retention Daysare based on the first date found in this sequence:- End time of the workflow execution
- Start time of the workflow execution
- Created time of the workflow execution
- Requested start time of the workflow request
- Created time of the workflow request.
- When artifacts have been purged, a red circle will appear on next to the project version indicating that the artifacts have been purged. This These project version will also can no longer be available to deploy to any environment. To redeploy this version you would need to perform a new build using the same revision of the source code.
