cleanupUnusedStaffQueryInstances.py administrative script

Use the cleanupUnusedStaffQueryInstances.py administrative script to remove from the database unused results from people queries.

Business Process Choreographer maintains lists of user names in the runtime database for people queries that have been evaluated. Although the BPEL process instances and human tasks that used the people queries have finished, the lists of user names are maintained in the database until the corresponding process application is undeployed.

If the size of the database is affecting performance, you can remove the unused lists of people that are cached in the database tables.

Prerequisites

The following conditions must be met:
  • Run the script in the connected mode, that is, do not use the wsadmin -conntype none option.
  • At least one cluster member must be running.
  • If your user ID does not have operator authority, include the wsadmin -user and -password options to specify a user ID that has operator authority.
  • If you are not working with the default profile, use the wsadmin -profileName profile option to specify the profile.

Location

The cleanupUnusedStaffQueryInstances.py administrative script is in the Business Process Choreographer admin directory.

Syntax

-f cleanupUnusedStaffQueryInstances.py 
  -cluster cluster_name 
    [-cleanupSharedWorkItems]

Parameters

-cluster clusterName
The name of the cluster where Business Process Choreographer is configured. In a multicluster setup, you must specify the application cluster because that is where Business Process Choreographer is configured.
-cleanupSharedWorkItems
Specify this optional parameter if you also want the script to delete unused shared work items.
