Delete Historical Opening Hours

Overview

This task removes historical additional opening hours from stores. Additional opening hours are typically used for holidays, special events, or temporary schedule changes. Once these dates have passed by a configured threshold, the entries are removed to keep store data clean and efficient.

Identifier

When to Use

Enable this task when you need:

• Cleanup of old holiday opening hours
• Removal of past special event schedules
• Maintenance of store data efficiency
• Prevention of data accumulation from temporary schedule changes

Configuration Properties

This task requires configuration in tenant settings:

If this setting is not configured or is set to 0 or less, the task will complete successfully without processing any stores.

Behavior

What It Does

1. Reads the deleteAdditionalOpeningHoursThreshold from tenant settings
2. Calculates the cutoff date (current date minus threshold days)
3. Queries for stores that have additional opening hours
4. For each store, removes opening hours entries older than the cutoff date
5. Updates stores that had entries removed
6. Reports the number of stores updated

Prerequisites

• storeSettings.deleteAdditionalOpeningHoursThreshold must be configured with a positive value
• Store search service must be operational
• Store service must be operational

Side Effects

• Removes additional opening hours entries from store records
• Historical opening hours data will no longer be available
• Does not affect regular weekly opening hours

Example Configuration

First, ensure tenant settings include the threshold:

{
    "storeSettings": {
        "deleteAdditionalOpeningHoursThreshold": 30
    }
}

Then configure the scheduled task:

{
    "ImplementationType": "DeleteHistoricalAdditionalOpeningHoursScheduledTask",
    "Schedule": "0 3 * * 0",
    "IsDisabled": false
}

Recommended Schedule

Run weekly during off-peak hours (0 3 * * 0 - 3 AM Sunday). Additional opening hours accumulate slowly, so weekly cleanup is sufficient for most scenarios.
