Purging Execution Data

• Due to modification in the retention criteria, the upgrade disables the purge.  Customers should review the criteria to ensure it meets their data retention policies, and then re-enable it.  Failure to purge execution data can result in increased storage and slower performance over time.  Keep the data you need to meet your data retention policies, but avoid retaining more than you need.
• Execution data is no longer archived into separate tables, and instead is retained in the operational tables until it is completely purged from the system.  For this reason, the Retention Days (Archive) parameter has been removed, and its value has been set into the Retention Days parameter during the upgrade.  Archive data has been merged back into the operations tables during the migration.
• Project versions are no longer ineligible for purge only because they are part of a pipeline execution (snapshot) which is ineligible.  The project version is purged, along with the corresponding snapshot version.  The snapshot is then marked as inconsistent.

Ease of adoption

• FlexDeploy Tutorials (with docker images) are now available for EBS, SOA and ADF build and deployment configurations.
• FlexDeploy is available as a Docker container. See blog article.
