Tech note - 1.68 in-place update failure

When performing an in-place upgrade to any versions between 1.68.13 and 1.68.18 with a very large task history, the upgrade is taking longer than expected due to needing to re-index the task history.

The following workaround can be used to reduce issues when updating.

Archive by truncation

Truncate the following tables:

task_batch_history
task_package_history
