Document lifecycle processing is a headless operation that provides little feedback. This processing normally happens in batch jobs that run during the night to process events and permanently delete documents. You can see the last state of operation in the document lifecycle processing log.
Viewing the document lifecycle processing log
From the web client, go to Administration > Full administration > Administration reports > Document lifecycle processing log.
There are three categories of information in the view.
- Soft delete queue status – permanent delete document processing
- Lifecycle task status – event processing
- Settings – customizable settings for lifecycle processing
Several columns of information are provided.
- Last status – the high level status from the processing run
- Last run – the time of the last processing run
- Last run duration – the length of time required to complete
- Last run volume – the number of documents processed
- Expected volume – the number of documents expected for the next run
- Last calculated – the last time the expected volume was calculated
- Action – the type of lifecycle task like delete, convert to record, archive, and user-defined
- Schema – the document schema associated with this processing

- You will be prompted to confirm the operation as it can be time-consuming. Press to continue.
Changing the settings
The two settings that can be configured by the customer are changed using managed options.
- Lifecycle.Task.Batchsize – Set the number of documents that will be processed in a single batch. Larger batch sizes may process more quickly per document, but if they are too large they may not be completed before timing out. The default is 100.
- Lifecycle.Task.ProcessingTimeLimit – The total amount of time that will be allowed for processing across all batches. Before starting a new batch, this limit will be checked to see if it has been exceeded.
