====== Selective deletion of messages ======

===== Variant 1 =====

If for certain reasons the messages should not be cleaned up with a Global or node specific [[en:howtos:cleanup|CleanUp Job]], then this method is useful.
With a [[en:prozessdefinition:jobs:jobsteps:allgemein:messagecollector|]] a specific message basket can be selected and the messages to be selected therein
with Filter on the status and other filters can be selected.

These messages can then be passed on to another job by [[en:prozessdefinition:jobs:jobsteps:allgemein:delegatorjob|]].
The delegated messages then can be deleted with the [[en:prozessdefinition:jobs:jobsteps:allgemein:messagedeletor|]].

===== Variant 2 =====

For example, if you want to delete all messages except for a specific message type, you can use the following solution:

  - create a separate [[en:kommunikation:nachrichtenkoerbe:anlegen|message box]] for the specific message type.
  - set the [[en:prozessdefinition:jobs:jobsteps:allgemein:entitymessagecreator|containerization]] of the specific message type to the previously created new message box.
  - modify the standard cleanup job((To be found in the standard delivery in the directory "..\eBiss3\StandardTemplates\Jobs\CleanupJob".))
    - modify the existing job object [[en:prozessdefinition:jobs:jobsteps:allgemein:removemessages|]] set the parameter "**Not in the message box**" to the previously created message box, which excludes these messages from the clean up.
    - set an additional job object [[en:prozessdefinition:jobs:jobsteps:allgemein:removemessages|]] with the parameter "**In the message box**" to the previously created message basket and set the parameter "**Created before**" to the desired number of days.
    - enque this additional job object inside the standard cleanup job.
