AsyncOperation cleanup - System Jobs

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

We've had Dynamics 365 now for a little over 3 years.  I've had systems jobs that cleanup AsyncOperationBase for awhile, now there's 666K records in there, which isn't bad but it's taking up over 17GB in storage.  

From what I've read online it's because of the [data] property on the table.  Is there any issue with running a SSIS Kingswaysoft job to clear out that data field to free up space?  Nobody looks at those system jobs in production, I am the only one when I try to track down flow errors and it's not very often.

Anything existing can be cleaned out for now, as far as what's remaining and that field property.  

I have the same question (0)

    Hi graflunds,

    The  SSIS Kingswaysoft is third party tool, so we can't be sure it won't cause problems

    hey!

    I don't know if it makes sense to remove data from a specific column.  Especially because the data property might contain the code that will be executed on an asynchronous process. Instead, you should aim to remove old data (for example, Failed+Cancelled that are older than 1 month, succeeded older than 2 weeks.  Also, you should verify the number of records that are "waiting" or "waiting for resources" as this usually points to tasks that are pending (and therefore the Data Property contains a value pending to execute).  

    on cloudblogs.microsoft.com/.../ you have an interesting best practices as well as most common deletion jobs

    Regards

    thanks.. well it looks like i can't do any updates on asyncoperation anyways using kwsoft .. the table isn't available for update operations.  ehh well.  i'll review the article on best practices to see if I've missed anything but I've got bulk deletes going already to remove old successful jobs.
