Hello Guys,

I want to get some feedback on performance point of view, enabling "Automatically delete system job on complete" on workflow vs Bulk delete system jobs. We have lots of workflow that kicks off after our large data sync from other system into CRM. So we want to measure the performance of the enabling "Automatically delete system job on complete" on workflow vs Bulk delete system jobs. If you anyone done this performance measurement place share your result that will reduce our effort doing this again

Hi Chitra,

Thank you for using Microsoft Dynamics CRM Community. There is unfortunately no general answer to your question – as you know you are able to delete the System jobs on complete using both approaches. "Automatically delete system job on complete” option is especially designed for this purpose and will be handled by the by system jobs one by one by the Asynchronous service. In contrast Bulk Delete is available for a number of Entities and configurations so that you can set it as per your needs. Bulk Delete will also create a System Job based on the given criteria for the job, which will be executed by the Asynchronous service as for the other option.

I would recommend you to try both approaches for your organization and assess which proves to be better in terms of performance for your particular environment.

In general I can confirm that deleting the System jobs on complete (if not required later for analyze purposes) will help you keep the performance of your database in a good shape.

Please let us know if this helps.

Hi,

Usually, if I use the Bulk Delete, it is slower in our case :)

The deleting of the System Job on complete means you won't be able to see what happened afterwards because it will delete the job.

Speed wise I don't think it really matters but it really depends on if you want to see what system jobs have run

we have nightly data sync between CRM and other system , during the data sync crm fires more than 700k systems jobs. we really dont want to review all these systems jobs for any purpose. We have compared time that takes to complete the workflows by enabling the auto delete of system job as well without enabling the auto delete , it looks enabling the auto delete took more time to complete the workflow for same data. we tested with least amount data that we are planning to Sync between crm and other system. So when we disabled auto delete for workflows we gained better performance in this scenario. Thanks for all the input.

Hi Everyone,

I would like to share my experience that is related to performance issue with auto bulk delete in MS CRM.

We have a client who is on MS CRM 2011 and it was so happen, that developers might not checked this "auto delete workflow to save disk space". So along with time AsyncOperationBase table has grew up.

If there is no need to maintaining history data which we have acquired from various background job, we can delete those job from a SQL query for an On-Premise deployment.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/968520/performance-is-slow-if-the-asyncoperationbase-table-becomes-too-large

We were into migration phase from MS CRM 2011 to MS CRM 2016.

We noticed that completed system jobs are getting deleted instantly in MS CRM 2011 and not in MS CRM 2016.

Even jobs which are 2-3 days old also not getting deleted in MS CRM 2016, when I resume the "Delete completed system jobs", it somehow deletes the workflow completed jobs.

Also I noticed the change in the query of "Delete completed system jobs".

Regards,

Vipin Jaiswal
