• Bug Type: Staging

In normal circumstances background tasks are cleared when the portal starts up.
However, when cluster.link.enabled=true is configured, the cleaning is skipped, resulting in every new staging publication stuck in the QUEUED status.

Reproduction steps:

1. Import PTR2283Dump20210317.sql.
2. Add cluster.link.enabled=true to portal-ext.properties
3. Start the portal
4. Go to testSite and create a new publish process

Result:
Publication is stuck in QUEUED status

Expected:
Publication is successful.
