Datastore garbage collection-run biweekly

Avatar

Level 4

Hi, Currently the datastore garbage collection can be run weekly once as weekly job.

There is requirement to run this twice or thrice a week. Please any one  suggest if it is possible to run this two or three times a week.

thanks.

Hi @Shakthi1 

By default data store garbage collection will run automatically as part of the Weekly Maintenance Window.

The system administrator can also run data store garbage collection manually on as as-needed basis but it cannot be automated more than once. In general, it is recommended that data store garbage collection be performed periodically, but that the following factors be taken into account in planning data store garbage collections:

  1. Data store garbage collections take time and may impact performance, so they should be planned accordingly.
  2. Removal of data store garbage records does not affect normal performance, so this is not a performance optimization.
  3. If storage utilization and related factors like backup times are not a concern, then data store garbage collection might be safely deferred.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Hi @Shakthi1,

 

If the repository has been configured with an external data store, data store garbage collection will run automatically as part of the Weekly Maintenance Window. 

 

To run it manually, follow the steps here.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks,
