    Please note that this will put additional load on your master.
    (I cannot tell you how much because all of our customers are happy with a couple of days in Activity Monitor and use reports and/or OpsCenter for the rest.)

    Jobs are by default kept for 3 days (78 hours).

    To update current NBU session:
    bpdbjobs -keep_hours <hours> 

    To change permanently, update bp.conf:
    KEEP_JOBS_HOURS = <hours>

    You need to amend the values of KEEP_JOBS_HOURS and KEEP_JOBS_SUCCESSFUL_HOURS.

    There are (or certainly appears to be) various ways to change these settings - bp.conf entries, bpdbjobs, bpsetconfig of which the first two are covered in the Admin Guide & the odd T/N:
