This configuration of max 5 version and max age 30 related to to version purge i.e deleting versions which are not in use. Only if you run or  schedule a maintenance task to purge versions this would come into play.

There is no finite limit on how many versions you can create in the system.

HI,

the behavior of version purging task is performing only if you create a new version.

if there was  5 versions available in the system out of 5 .

4 versions with 30 days old.and max version is 2

and i want to remove the version which are 30 days old.

this case version purging is running only when the new version is created.

please advise how to do this purging task automatically without creating a new version ?

Hey,

versionmanager.maxAgeDays -> default: 30, on purge, any version older than this value will be removed. If this value is less than 1, purging is not performed based on the age of the version

versionmanager.maxNumberVersions ->default 5, on purge, any version older than the n-th newest version will be removed. If this value is less than 1, purging is not performed based on the number of versions

      By default, if you don't run the version purge there isn't a  finite limit to the no. of versions of pages/assets  to be retained but that might affect  overall system performance

      Once you run the version purge, it then picks up from the config and by default it would 5 versions that are 30 days old.
