Delete "Activities"?
Hi,
it is possible to delete the "Activities" (German: Überblick - Aktivitäten)?
Thanks.

Hi,
it's because i don't need acitivity entries that are older than a month. I have only 4 machines to backup and have already hundreds of entries. Why should i keep them when the jobs are done without errors? If an error occur, i'll fix it and then run the job again.
What is the purpose to keep this entries forever and make them not deletable?
Thanks!

Dear Forellenblau,
I had a similar desire to remove old log "junk". Was successful on AB 12 with this:
Acronis KB 31547. Give it a try.

Hi Steve,
thanks for your tip. Unfortunalety the batch doesn't work, it seems Acronis has changed the table structure so nothing is deleted.

Hello Forellenblau,
maybe you could then use a manual operation:
1. Stop AMS (= "Acronis Management Server") via services administration.
2. Delete C:\ProgramData\Acronis\AMS\dml_activities.db3 (Linux: /var/lib/Acronis/AMS/dml_activities.db3
3. Start AMS.

Hi Steve,
thanks for your advice. I'll do it that way until an official solution is ready.

Hi
For 12.5 current workaround is the following:
1) go to http://sqlite.org/download.html and download sqlite-tools for Windows
2) extract sqlite3.exe
3) run sqlite3.exe %ProgramData%\Acronis\TaskManager\task_manager_db.sqlite3 "delete from activities where state = 'completed' "

Hi,
thanks very much for the workaround - works perfectly. Hopefully in a new build of 12.5 this will be implemented natively.

Unfortunately it does not work properly...
The problem is that when i delete the entries with the workaround provided the list is empty as exptected. But... after a while (between a few hours and one day) the list is restored, all entries are back...
Is there a way to delete the list permanently?
Thanks.

Hi
Agents sync with the AMS the latest 100 activities, that's why you see them in the web console.
Try this workaround:
1) go to http://sqlite.org/download.html and download sqlite-tools for Windows
2) extract sqlite3.exe
3) run sqlite3.exe %ProgramData%\Acronis\TaskManager\task_manager_db.sqlite3 "update activities set is_hidden=1"
