Purging finished publish transactions
When a publish action is finished, SDL Tridion keeps a record of it in the form of a finished publish transaction. If many publish actions are frequently performed, these publish transactions can fill up your Content Manager database. To prevent this, purge the finished publish transactions.
Before you begin
Procedure
From the PowerShell command prompt, enter the command
Remove-TcmPublishTransactions, applying the following parameters:
Successful- Specify this parameter to purge successful publish transactions.
Failed- Specify this parameter to purge failed publish transactions.
Before-
An optional timestamp (
DateTime) indicating the cutoff point after which no publish transactions should be purged. For example, set this parameter to 17 January 2013 to keep all publish transactions created after that date.
SDL Tridion purges the publish transactions that meet the criteria you specified and to which you have access: either the publish transactions you initiated yourself or, if you are logged in as a system administrator user, all publish transactions that meet the criteria you specified. The return value is the number of publish transactions that were purged.
