How to deactivate the deletion of versions upon the deletion of a website

Question

When I delete a website, it can take a lot of time and it can also cause an OutOfMemoryError.

How can I prevent that from happening?

Answer

This is a known issue and improvements have been brought to Jahia 8.2.1.0.

In all cases, here is a workaround to deactivate the deletion of versions upon the deletion of a website:

• Retrieve the source of Jahia related to the version you use
• Inside, retrieve the file applicationcontext-jcr.xml and modify it so the two parts like the following are commented:

  <bean class="org.jahia.services.history.NodeVersionHistoryListener">
      <property name="schedulerService" ref="SchedulerService"/>
  </bean>
  

• In the processing node, put this file in the folder JAHIA_HOME/digital-factory-config/jahia/
• Restart the processing node
