Description

Hi,

Does the MS SQL Provider for DTFx impose a limit on the number of history records (dt.History table) for an orchestration instance? Is it possible to configure one?

Specifically I'm wondering what mechanisms are in place to avoid a never-ending orchestration from browning-out our service's database.

Thank you!

Research direction

Start by reviewing the MS SQL provider's handling of the dt.History table and orchestration-instance history. Determine whether history limits or configuration are mentioned, and whether any mechanism addresses never-ending orchestrations. Done means documenting the supported behavior or identifying the provider area that would need a change.
