5.10 Moving tasks to the history list (archiving)

When a task has finished processing, you can move it to the history list. This process is called archiving. Archived tasks are removed from the tasks list, and are managed in the history list from then on.

Who can perform this task:

When the status of the submitted service is Release, Maintenance, or Test:

Users in the Admin role, Develop role, and Modify role
When the status of the submitted service is Debug:

Users in the Admin role and Develop role

To move tasks to the history list:

In the Tasks window, click the Tasks tab or the Debug tab.
From the tasks list, select the task or tasks you want to archive.

Tip

You can select multiple tasks by selecting the check boxes beside the task names. You can also select all tasks by selecting the check box beside the column header.
From the More Actions pull-down menu, select Archive.

Tip

Alternatively, you can select Archive from the More Actions pull-down menu in the Flow area, or click the Archive button in the Task Details window.
In the Archive Tasks dialog box, review the tasks to be archived, and then click the OK button.

Result of operation:

The tasks are deleted from the tasks list.

You can view the tasks you removed from the tasks list by clicking the History tab in the Tasks window.

Tip: You can also configure JP1/AO to automatically archive tasks by setting a retention period or maximum number of tasks to keep in the user-specified properties file (config_user.properties).
