#How to Purge jobs executions
This chapter gives details on how to purge jobs executions in order to decrease the database volume.
#The batch job command
Akeneo PIM provides a simple command to purge jobs executions:
bin/console akeneo:batch:purge-job-execution [-d|--days DAYS]
Don’t forget to add –env=prod to avoid memory leaks in dev environment (the default environment for commands)
You can also provide a custom configuration for the job:
bin/console akeneo:batch:purge-job-execution --days=30 --env=prod
For example, with the option –days=30, the command will remove all jobs executions older than 30 days.
#Scheduling the jobs
To run a command periodically, you can use a cron:
First, you need to install it (example in debian/ubuntu based distributions):
apt-get install cron
Then, you can edit your crontab:
crontab -e
You can now add a new line at the end of the opened file:
0 0 * * * /home/akeneo/pim/bin/console akeneo:batch:purge-job-execution --env=prod
With this cron configuration a purge of jobs executions older than 90 days, will be launched once a day.
This purge command removes the job executions from the database but does not remove files from app/archive.
