I have Alfresco 5.1 server with some unused content in repository and old workflow instances.
I'm going to remove this content with UI Alfresco Share/scripts.
The clean repo will used as template of database Alfresco (it's catalog data + db).
I know that the standrd job ContentStoreCleanerTrigger does not move content from the contentstore to the contentstore.deleted directory until 14 days after it was removed from the trash. This provides safety net in case content was inadvertently deleted.
Additionally, the jobs NodeServiceCleanupTrigger runs every day and purges information related to deleted nodes from the database (I don't know are there some protections days too).
I want to change this behavior before I'll purge the trashcan, but could't find documentation.
Otherwise I will have to wait a long time before deleted files will moved to contentstore.deleted.
How can I set the protection days value for jobs ContentStoreCleanerTrigger, NodeServiceCleanupTrigger?
Any help would be appreciated.
Google points to the official docs: Cleaning up orphaned content (purge) but I would recommend Toni's Blog: Understanding Alfresco Content Deletion
In short: set parameters in alfresco-global.properties
# keep content 14 days before cleaning up
system.content.orphanProtectDays=14
# don't move the content to contentstore.deleted - just delete it!
system.content.eagerOrphanCleanup=true
