Workflow History Purge After 60 days

Hi Readers ,

Today i came across a department in the organisation which wants all the old workflow history for Audit purpose .

By default the workflow history gets purged after 60 days . For the same there is a Timer job which runs .

You could also disable the automatic cleanup of workflow history by the following steps:

1.       From Central Administration, click the Operations tab on the top navigation bar.

2.       On the Operations page, in the Global Configuration section, click Timer job definitions.

3.       On the Timer Job Definitions page, click Workflow Auto Cleanup to edit the appropriate timer job.

4.       On the Edit Timer Job page, click Disable and then click OK to disable the Workflow Auto Cleanup feature.
