Issue

  • After a few days, past Staging publication records disappear from the history list located in Site Administration > Publishing > Staging 

Environment

  • DXP 7.2, DXP 7.1, DXP 7.0

Resolution

  • By default, Liferay is configured to keep the latest 50 staging records, including processes that are not completed within the Publishing > Staging page (i.e. navigating to Site Administration > Content & Data > Web Content > Staging and publishing changes)
  • To override this setting, place a portlet-ext.properties file in [Liferay_Home]/tomcat-9.0.17/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes and set the following properties:
include-and-override=portlet-ext.properties

#
# Set the interval of the clean up process which will delete the draft export
# import configurations. Interval is specified in hours.
#
draft.export.import.configuration.check.interval=36

#
# Sets the number of draft export import configurations to keep by the clean up
# process. By default, it will keep the latest 50 draft export import
# configurations. Set this property to -1 to keep everything. Set this property
# to 0 to delete everything.
#
draft.export.import.configuration.clean.up.count=50
