Hi,

I have an application where I don’t use the datas stored inside of these tables :  
-act\_hi\_comment  
-act\_hi\_identitylink

The problem is that these tables keep growing and I don’t need the datas inside of it.

Is there a possibility to disable the fill of these tables on the ProcessEngine configuration or a way to clean these tables regularly using flowable engine (without being forced to use SQL request to clean these tables) ?

Regards,

Loïc Seguin

If you don’t use that data, you can of course delete the rows.  
However, did you check what data is in these tables? How are they being filled? Especially the comment one is quite and old one and is only used by a handful of API’s anymore.
