Optimize performance with auto cleanup tasks

Applies to these Dynamics 365 apps:

Issue

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Human Resources can experience performance problems if the batch job history grows too large.

Cause

Batch jobs that run frequently can cause unsustainable growth of the batch job history. This growth can lead to performance problems.

Resolution

Schedule an automatic task to clean up your batch job history. Set up the task to run weekly, but you might need to run the cleanup more or less frequently, depending on your environment. The following procedure contains the recommended settings, but you can change these settings according to your needs.

  1. In Human Resources, select System administration.

  2. In the Search bar, enter Batch job history clean-up.
