Multiple instances jobs remain after run. How perform clean?

Post by stivazzi »

Hi everybody,
I've a server job with multiple instances allowed (and I call it via web service). What happend is that, as normal, for each job execution a copy of the original job is created with name jobName.invocationID.
My problem is that after the execution, the copy of the original job remains and my fear is that after a period the number of copies can increase very much.
Is there a way to delete these copies after job execution?

Thanks,
Marco

Only mechanism I know is to recompile the base job.

There is only ever one copy of a multi-instance job.

There may be log and status entries from various invocations, but these are just entries in tables. Log entries are removed during the normal purging process. Status entries are kept until the job is re-compiled. But there are never multiple copies of the job.
