Re: [jbpm-dev] [jbpm 5.2] delete task rows when a process ends

I'm usually against automating that kind of business domain specific information. If you allow to externalize the information in a domain specific way, the user which does that definition will need to be responsible for those clean ups, just like in every domain specific database.

Cleaning up tasks for completed process instances is something that is possible with what we're discussing here. Audit / history data is more difficult though. You cannot really define when it is no longer necessary, that depends on what you're trying to use it for. A solution could be to archive data after a certain amount of time (so that it won't impact performance but is still available somewhere if necessary), but not sure how much we could automate that?

This needs to be automated, as users may start 100K process per day. Removing them manually from an admin console is absolutely not going to work. FYI this was real flaw in jBPM3. Customers would start 100 of thousands of processes unaware that their database tables were growing (particularly if they did not turn off the audit log. After six months or so their system crawled to a halt because they had tens of millions of rows in their various tables.

The same for groups. These are basically extensions to the queries that you mention. We can create a very simple form that allow the admins to do these clean ups from the jbpm console administration tab. We should have an unified way to do clean ups for processes as well right? What about the HistoryLog? should we provide also a way to externalize the Human task information? Usually in that way we can delegate the clean ups (business cleanups) to the users that define how they want to externalize that information, and we inside the project can provide a way to do internal clean ups for the human task server and for the process instances that are canceled or ended. My two cents.. On Mon, Mar 12, 2012 at 4:07 PM, Kris Verlaenen < kverlaen(a)redhat.com > wrote: We could offer support for different strategies to clean up the task database. What would be the options here? * Remove the task from the database when it is completed (and listeners have been notified) - this is probably too soon though, as some components might still need results (async for example) * Consider this as a clean-up job - remove completed tasks older than x days - remove completed tasks of completed process instances - ... Any others ideas?

If you can create a JPA query that do what your store procedure is doing we can provide a way to execute that, or let the user defines when and how he/she wants to do the clean ups.

The human task server will keep track and record all your human activities. If you want to do some clean ups you will need to write the right sql queries against the human task server schemas On Mon, Mar 12, 2012 at 2:43 PM, Giovanni Marigi < gmarigi(a)redhat.com > wrote: Hi, currently when a process instance ends, every task linked to this process (even if in state Completed) is not deleted from DBMS.
