Task and Archiving Notes

Note the following when working with tasks and archiving:

When a task is canceled, it remains in the database until garbage collection.
When a task is completed, it also remains in the database for at least 30 days (default). After 30 days, it can be removed during garbage collection.
It does not matter if a task is canceled or completed; it always remains in the database. Only the garbage collector removes it from the database after a configured number of days.

A property configures the default amount of time a task remains in the database. For information about adjusting this time interval, contact WorldServer Technical Support.
A task is always archived after it is completed successfully, even if the project with which the task is associated is not completed. Therefore, a completed task can coexist in the active tables and archive tables in the database for a period of time, until garbage collection.
Archive tables are never garbage collected. For information about cleaning up the archive tables, contact WorldServer Technical Support.
