Configure immediate or delayed deletion of portal pages
We configure the deletion cleanup to happen either immediately when you delete the page or later.
- Immediate deletion
The page, and all resources that depend on it, are deleted immediately after the user completes the action for the deletion.
- Delayed deletion
The page is marked for deletion, but the page and all dependent resources are actually deleted later. Once the page has been marked for deletion, users cannot view or otherwise access the page any longer.
We can change between the immediate and delayed deletion of portal pages by configuring the property value...
scheduler.cleanup.enabled
...in the portal Data Store Service in the WAS console. Set the following Data Store Service configuration parameters as required:
- scheduler.cleanup.enabled = (true)
- Determines whether deletion of portal pages is performed later by the scheduled cleanup service, or immediately after the user completes the deletion task. This affects the deletion of portal pages and all their dependent resources, such as components and portlet instances.
- true
- Enable delayed deletion of portal pages by the scheduled cleanup service. Pages and dependent resources are deleted by the scheduled cleanup service.
- false
- Disable deletion of portal pages by the scheduled cleanup service. Deletion of the pages and their dependent resources is triggered immediately when the administrative user runs the cleanup task.
Set true to have deletion of pages to be delayed and performed by the scheduled cleanup service. Defaults is true.
By its default schedule configuration, the cleanup service runs weekly, on Saturdays at 8 pm.
