Set Report Storage Duration

Customizing the storage retention limit is available in on-premises installations of VertiGIS Studio Reporting only. Customizing the storage retention limit is not available in cloud Reporting.

The Reporting service retains the files generated from running a report. These files are entered into the data directory, whose default location is C:\ProgramData\Geocortex\Reporting\Jobs_. By default, the report files are kept for 7 days. Once the storage limit has passed, the oldest Jobs_ folder is deleted. The storage limit can be modified to a time limit of your choosing.

To customize the storage retention limit:

1. As an administrator, edit the following web.config file:

   [installation_location]\VertiGIS Studio Reporting\Deployment\web.config

   If you installed VertiGIS Studio Reporting in the default location, the web.config file is here:

   C:\Program Files\VertiGIS\VertiGIS Studio Reporting\Deployment\web.config

2. In <appSettings>, add this line:

   <add key="app:storageRetentionLimit" value="" />

3. Set value to a time period of your choosing.

   For example: <add key="app:storageRetentionLimit" value="7.00:00:00.000" />

4. Save the file.

5. For the changes to take effect, recycle the Application Pool running the Reporting service.
