CRM 2013 Maintenance Jobs

  • Artykuł

The Maintenance jobs for CRM 2013 is similar to the CRM 2011 jobs if they are not the same. I had to dig into the details of each of the jobs for my project. These are my findings and I hope it will be useful for everyone. Please remember to reschedule these maintenance jobs after the installation of CRM is completed.

Maintenance Job Name

Purpose

Default Frequency/ Recommendation

Deletion Service

The deletion service maintenance operation now cleans up subscription tracking records for deleted metadata objects as they expire.

  • If Outlook does not sync for 90 days, the job will remove the subscription with CRM.
  • Cleanup POA records. Un-sharing of record(s) do not remove the records in the POA table, it will stay there for 90 days and it will clean up by the deletion job.
  • Cleanup failed/stuck workflows for the record(s) synchronize with Outlook.

By default, the job executes every 24 hours, reschedule the job to run at non-peak hours. E.g. 11:00PM at night

Indexing Management

Validates that system-managed indexes exist for all entities and recreates any missing indexes.

This is more for CRM Online and only impacts us during configuration of the solution. It automatically creates index for each column used in search for Quick Find if the index is not already created in the CRM database

By default, the job executes every 24 hours, reschedule the job to run at non-peak hours. E.g. 11:00PM at night

Reindex All

Reorganizes/rebuilds fragmented indexes depending on the amount of fragmentation.

It execute the p_ReindexAll stored procedure, it selects all indexes in the database with greater than 30% fragmentation and runs ReIndex on each while in online mode. Run while online mode means indexes are not taken offline while reindex is happening they still are active and are functioning and can be used.

Large enterprise CRM implementation with big data volume should disable this CRM reindex job if a custom job is created for recreating the indexes and with run update stats.

By default, the job executes every 24 hours, disable the job by setting the Job Next Run value to the future. E.g. 12/31/2999

Cleanup Inactive Workflow Assemblies

Seeks custom workflow assemblies that are no longer referenced in workflow rules or in-process jobs. Those unreferenced assemblies are then deleted. Consider the scenario where you register version 2.0 of a custom workflow assembly.  You may update your rules to reference the new version, but some in-progress jobs may still be referencing version 1.0.  Once those jobs have completed, this maintenance job will clean up the version 1.0 assembly that is no longer referenced by rules/jobs.

It executes the p_CleanupInactiveWorkflowAssemblies stored procedure.

By default, the job executes every 24 hours, reschedule the job to run at non-peak hours. E.g. 11:00PM at night

Create Audit Partition

Alters the partitioning scheme for the auditbase table (SQL Enterprise only).

By default, the job executes every month, reschedule the job to run at non-peak hours. E.g. 11:00PM at night

Check for MUI Updates

Detects upgrades to language (MUI) packs and schedules additional async operations to perform individual language provisioning.

By default, the job executes every 24 hours, if you don’t have language pack installed, you can disable the job by setting the Job Next Run value to the future. E.g. 12/31/2999

Refresh Entity Row Count

Refreshes the Record Count snapshot statistics leveraged enhanced query plans.

This job is important because it define how Quick Find works, it uses the counts to come up with the correct query plan.

By default, the job executes every 24 hours, reschedule the job to run at non-peak hours. E.g. 11:00PM at night

Refresh Sharing Count

Refreshes the POA read snapshot statistics leveraged in enhanced query plans.

This job is important because it define how Quick Find works, it uses the counts to come up with the correct query plan.

By default, the job executes every 24 hours, reschedule the job to run at non-peak hours. E.g. 11:00PM at night

The Deletion Service executes the following SQL queries.

Reindex All executes the p_ReindexAll stored procedure below.

    Thanks Darren, that is great information. It is very difficult to find any information about these jobs. Where do I reschedule them? Best regards Thomas

    You may download the CRM Maintenance Job Editor from Codeplex to reschedule them. crmjobeditor.codeplex.com

    Hi Darrenliu This is good information, but I'm wondering if you could help me with an issue. I've been running my dynamics 2013 system now for about 2 years and am not sure these jobs even exist.  I've looked at the jobs on my sql server as well as the task manager on my Dynamics servers and I can't find these jobs anywhere. Are they created by default on an installation of 2013?  Do I have to create them?  If they don't exist, is there a way to automatically add them now? Thank You

    same question as above ^ do we need to set these up manually? or should they already exist? Thanks
