Midnight Task

Usage

Obsolete test-/watch mode-specific files are removed from the tmp folder.
Temporary RVS Connector and Execution Connector related files are deleted.
System log entries are cleaned based on the criteria set (maximum entries, minimum entries, timestamp etc.).

Files are considered obsolete if they do not belong to any running processes and there is no queue manager entry for those processes to which the files belong to.

Queue Manager entries are not deleted. All obsolete Workflow Connector variable files & input/output message files are deleted (Midnight task cleans up workflow variables of non-running process). The midnight cleanup process removes the workflow variables of non-running processes).
