Auto Purge Log Project Property Change in Production

Hi,

I need one clarification about Auto Purge Log project propery, I have some 2000 jobs running daily in production and some jobs run with multipule instance (Same invocation id is used for every run so logs keep on appending). Auto purge Propery was set to 40 days.

I want to change Auto Purge Propery to 7 runs, and this chnage in property should be applied to all the existing jobs in production including the logs with multipule instance.

Can anyone please suggest.

Regards
Suresh Angadi

There's nothing out of the box for you. You might Search DSXchange for examples of how to go about automating this task - essentially a routine that runs through all jobs changing their purge settings. The auto-purge settings only affect subsequently-created jobs.

To apply auto-purge settings to existing jobs, you have to export and import all the existing jobs.

This makes them "subsequently created" jobs.

Exactly.
