Local database cache - SQL Server 2008 settings

Question
-
When a create a new "Local Database cache component", retention period is configured in SQL Server 2008.
For testing purpose, I set a short retention period. But I have always to wait about 3 days to see the cleanup task doing its job.
Here is the query I use to test if cleanup job was executed:
select ID, sys_change_operation from CHANGETABLE(CHANGES dbo.T_TEST, 1) AS CT
What is going wrong?

It looks like to be a bug in Sql Server.

How short was the retention peiod you have set? Try to set up 30 minutes and restart SQL server and see if the cleanup works.
Thanks.

Hi Leo Zhou,
Thanks for your answer.
I've set a retention period of 10 min. I'm going to follow your advice and try to restart SQL Server after changing settings.
It sounds that cleanup cannot occur in smaller period than 30min?
I'll confirm if I succed in cleaning every 30 min with your advice.
Thank you

Hi Leo Zhou,
I did many tests, use SQL Server Management Studio GUI and T-SQL statements to configure change tracking (35 minutes).
Each time I restarted SQL Server Instance.
But I still need to wait more than 2 days to see cleanup working.
Thanks
