ACS Commons Workflow Purge

[#1]

I am trying to setup an OSGi config for workflow purge activities as mentioned in 

https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/workflow-remover/index.html

How do I setup the OSGi configuration such that it purges workflow instances which are in completed state for more than 60 days. workflow.older-than property does not seem to work like that but it takes specific date as input.

Hi @RonnieForum,

If you are looking for purge based on days old, you can make use of OOB Workflow Purge

Tools -> Operations -> Maintenance -> Weekly Maintenance window -> Workflow Purge -> Configure

Thanks @Vijayalakshmi_S. However, how do I make the Workflow Purge task under Maintenance code driven ? I can make OSGi config code driven but would need to add the Workflow Purge Task manually to all the environments till production ?

Hi @RonnieForum,

Sorry, missed this thread.

Purge configuration can be set up as OSGI config and that can be part of code base. As it is a factory config, you can create config in the name of PID with identifier.

This task is already part of Weekly Maintenance Window OOB - You can check this at Tools -> Operations -> Maintenance -> Weekly Maintenance Task -> Workflow Purge (Will display the execution status of last executed run with date and when it will be next executed)

Explicit execution outside this window can be triggered by means of "Run" option on the card display (as you hover)

@Vijayalakshmi_S: I got the point around OSGi config . My question was around how to create the workflow purge task under weekly maintenance. Currently one of the lower environment shows below setup in my case. There is no item. How do I add Workflow Purge item here via code so that I don't have to manually add them in each environments.

Hi @RonnieForum,

It should be available OOB. Could you please let know the AEM instance version you are using.

Given that you don't have per the screenshot shared, you can add using "Add" actions in top left -> Add Task model -> Choose the task (in this case, workflow purge)

In repository, this will get saved in below path. 

• /libs/settings/granite/operations/maintenance/granite_weekly

It is a one time activity and need not be part of code deployment.

If you are still looking for adding it as code outside your project code base, then add task in your local -> overlay to /apps -> Take a package out of it and deploy across.

Thanks @Vijayalakshmi_S. I am on AEM 6.3.
