Cleaning up Pega Robot Runtime operational data
Keep only the data necessary for reporting, avoid system issues, and maintain constant high levels of application performance by periodically cleaning up your robot operational data and statistics.
For example, you can archive system health data after seven days, and then purge that data after a further seven days.As your robotic workforce operates, old or stale data tends to accumulate, which might impact system performance. You can keep your system as clean as possible by maintaining only the data that you require to fulfill your business goals.
When Pega Robot Manager auto-archives data, it exports that data from a main database table to the corresponding archive table at the specified time intervals. This keeps the database size optimal for running fast and efficient queries, and ensures that the main operational tables are populated only with the minimum required data.
Auto-purging prevents your archives from accumulating excess data by regularly and permanently deleting the archived records that you consider to be either obsolete, or too old, to keep.
Auto-archiving and auto-purging are enabled by default when creating an application through the New Application Wizard. To maintain the desired performance of your system, do not disable these options. For more information, see Building a Pega Robot Manager application.
When updating from previous Pega Robot Manager versions, auto-archiving and auto-purging are disabled by default.
- Auto-archiving robot operational data
Keep the size of your main database at a healthy level, ensure efficient and consistently high performance, and remove the need to maintain your databases manually by automatically moving inactive or unused data to archive tables at specified intervals.
- Auto-purging robot operational data
Maintain the optimal performance of your system by periodically removing unused or obsolete data from your archives. Auto-purging removes archived data permanently.
