LiveCompare may be configured to delete reports
and App results automatically if they are older than the specified number
of days. This may help to preserve disk space on the drive used to store
the LiveCompare user data directory. To configure LiveCompare to delete
old reports and App results automatically, carry out the following steps:
Log
in to LiveCompare as a user with Administrator privileges.
Select
the Administration/Configuration/Reports folder
in the LiveCompare hierarchy.
In the Configuration - Reports screen, enter
a numeric value in the ‘Report Expiration Days’ field.
Reports that are older than the specified number of days will be deleted
automatically.
LiveCompare checks the age of the reports and
App results daily using a scheduled task named ‘Tricentis LiveCompare
Purge Reports’ that runs each night on the LiveCompare server. This task also purges
any reports and App results that have expired. Note that when a report
or an App result that references a report has been purged, its files are
deleted from disk and may not be recovered from within LiveCompare. Details
of the reports and App results that have been purged are written to the
‘autopurge.log’ file in the <LiveCompare user data dir>\public directory.
The ‘Tricentis LiveCompare Purge Reports’
task may be viewed using the LiveCompare server’s Task Scheduler applet.
