Clean up background working contexts
Teamcenter deletes background working contexts to free up disk space, according to their age and the maximum number of allowed contexts per user. To control this clean up, set the following preferences: AWBBackgroundContextCleanupDays Controls the maximum time working contexts are kept. For example, if this preference is set to 30 days, when a user opens a structure, all working contexts older than 30 days are deleted. AWBBackgroundContextMaxCountPerUser Controls the maximum number of working contexts kept for each user. For example, if this preference is set to 50, when a user opens a structure, the oldest working contexts from the set of that user’s contexts beyond the limit of 50 are deleted. The minimum valid value for the AWBBackgroundContextMaxCountPerUser preference is 1. The users must set this preference to 1 or more. These settings applies to all users and it is not possible to set a different cleanup period for individual users.
