Multi Instance jobs - clear logs

anu123 · Post by **anu123** » Tue Nov 27, 2012 1:00 pm

We have many multi instance jobs and each time we run each job will use unique invocation id and we do not have a mechanism to clean up all these instances. With all these instances, we are able to open director.

Is there any way to clean up all older instances?

Thanks in advance.

From what I recall, if you recompile the job or do a 'Reset Status File' on the job it will clear all instances from the Director view.

Thank you Craig.
That is what I have been doing (re compiling ) but would like to know if we have any alternatives to keep most recent instance and purge rest.

Thanks.

Yes there are, they involve deleting instance records from RT_STATUSxxx, but I don't have the details readily to hand.
