Hello Kevin,

AFAK, there is no such time limit. If you don't delete/archive the logs, the only thing happen is - your system space gets filled; if that can affect your system performance, then it can. The best practice is to archive the logs periodically, that may be manually or by using some batch scheduler.

Hi,

There is no such limit in QVS, If you don't need you can delete/archive the logs, but QVS don't delete by default. If you want to archive you need to do manually or some script (.Bat) using Windows scheduler.

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Jagan.
