Use task plans to schedule tasks that maintain the PhixFlow system; see Tasks and Task Plans. The system task includes processes that clear the data from incomplete stream sets. It is important to run a system task daily, or at a minimum weekly. We recommend that you add a system task to a task plan that is scheduled to run daily. |
