Error description

  • Automatic snapshot cleanup might continue to delete snapshots
    even after the cleanup duration time expires. You might see a
    log statement related to cleaning up unnamed snapshots in the
    SystemOut.log file even after the cleanup duration time has
    expired:
    
    [7/21/17 10:21:02:046 CDT] 00000184 AbstractSuppo I
    com.lombardisoftware.server.ejb.repositoryservices.SnapshotSuppo
    rt cleanSomeUnnammedSnapshots calling unnamed snapshot cleanup
    for group in branch Branch.123282dd-0233-4211-aabd-9d595a637308
    in  Shelter Bpm Data. StartSeq: 276480. EndSeq: 277248. Number
    of snapshots to delete: 3
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • This issue occurs because cleanup service checks expire after
    each branch. If a branch has a lot of unnamed snapshot and
    cleanup takes longer than what is configured for cleanup
    duration time, cleanup continues.
    
    PRODUCTS AFFECTED
    IBM Business Process Manager (BPM)
    IBM BPM Express
    

Problem conclusion

  • A fix will be available in a future release of IBM BPM that
    checks the cleanup duration time and stops the process when the
    time expires.
