How long does that typically take? Because I have done it on our large
job database and I have seen nothing yet.

If you had older than 6 month data I would expect it to purge on
restart of the slurmdbd. You will see a message in the log when the
archive file is created.

Okay, that's what I suspected. We set it to 6 months. So I guess
then the purge will happen on April 1st.

Paul, do you have Purge* set up in the slurmdbd.conf? Archiving
takes place during the Purge process. If no Purge values are set
archiving will never take place since nothing is ever purged. When
Purge values are set the related archivings take place on an hourly,
daily, and monthly basis depending on the units your purge values
are set to.
If PurgeJobs=2months the archive would take place at the beginning
of each month. If it were set to 2hours it would happen each hour.
The purge will also happen on slurmdbd startup as well if running
things for the first time.

So we recently turned this on to archive jobs older than 6 months.
However when we restarted slurmdbd nothing happened, at least no
file was deposited at the specified archive location. Is there a
way to force it to purge? When is the archiving scheduled to be
done? We definitely have jobs older than 6 months in the database,
I'm just curious about the schedule of when the archiving is done.
