Requirement to have a task alive for more than a year

Can we know Why you want to keep the task for that long period??  If it comes to me i don't suggest keeping a task for this long. I would go for alternatives like handling things from database (It's against Basic concept of BPM) but i will go for this. Short lived processes

Hi [mention:4c0976cc949643b68c23e4a0952c6f79:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] ,

The generation of tasks & moreover keeping those active till 1 year is not really a best practice.

It is not recommended to keep a task active for such long time as it will affect the appian system and its performance.

Appian always recommends to only use short-lived processes.

Server health & maintenance is a big concern, when you get around these long running processes.

Instead deal with record-centric approach, it helps to trigger the action anytime.(Suggestion)

I hope, this clears you.

I covered that in a blog post. Find it here: https://appian.rocks/2023/03/20/design-long-running-tasks/

Database-driven approach would be better choice to achieve this.
Storing tasks involves leveraging relational database tables to store task-related data. This approach provides scalability, flexibility, and performance benefits compared to storing tasks directly within the Appian platform.
