Changing the job timeout in release stations

When jobs are left held in the release station for a long time they are eventually deleted. By default this period is 30 minutes. The period can be changed via: Options -> General -> Hold/Release Queues -> Delete held jobs if not released after.

In versions prior to 8.0, the timeout period can be changed as follows:

  1. From the administration interface, navigate to Options -> Config editor (advanced)
  2. Enter release-station.job-expiry-mins in the quick find box.
  3. The config option with this value should be displayed in the table below. Change this value to the number of minutes that jobs are held in the release station before being deleted.
  4. Press Update
