Confluence Docs 3.0 : Scheduled Jobs This page last changed on Jul 17, 2009 by sjayaraman. This page provides a quick overview of the jobs that are scheduled to run regularly in your Confluence instance.
Job Name | Description
--- | ---
backupJob | performs a site backup
mailQueueFlushJob | sends notifications that have been queued up
referralQueueFlushJob | referrals to Confluence pages are queued up. This job writes this referrals to the database
taskQueueFlushJob | flushes the task queue
cleanTempDirectoryJob | this cleans up temp files created in Confluence home temp directory (created by exports etc.)
dailyReportJob | sends out an email summary of all changes in Confluence to all subscribers
clearOldMailErrorsJob | notifications that fail to send due to errors are added to the mail error queue. This job resets this clear periodically.
indexQueueFlushJob | each content update to Confluence needs to be updated in index so search results are accurate. This job flushes changes to the index.
indexOptimizerJob | index optimization is performed to compact the index and maintain searching performance. This task is expensive and does not need to be performed too regularly. If you see Confluence performance deteriorate around 3pm, you can try scheduling this job for 3am only and check that search performance remains reasonable.
indexQueueCleanJob | this job is responsible for periodically triggering an Index Queue clean to ensure that size of the index queue does NOT grow indefinitely.
mailPollJob | polls POP accounts on all spaces that have them configured.
clusterSafetyJob | ensures that only one cluster is ever writing to the database at one time. For non-clustered instances, this job is still useful for alerting customers that have accidentally deployed two instances of Confluence against the same database.
