Hi.

I need to “move” a given set of scheduled tasks from Nexus2 to Nexus3 and I’ve just realized that some specific types of task in Nexus2 don’t have its translation into Nexus3. Can someone give me some tips? Here’s a list with the types of tasks existing on my instance of Nexus2 that I would need to create on Nexus3 (on the right I’ve written the equivalent Nexus3 type which I think would suit best; for some others I didn’t found anything similar):

NEXUS2 TYPE – NEXUS3 TYPE  
Update Repositories Index – ???  
Optimize Repository Index – ???  
Repair Repository Index – Rebuild repository search  
Rebuild Maven Metadata Files – Rebuild Maven repository metadata (maven-metadata.xml)  
Empty Trash – ???  
Check for new report availability – ???  
Publish Indexes – Publish Maven Indexer files  
Purge Nexus Timeline – Delete unused components  
Remove Snapshots from Repository – Delete SNAPSHOT (Maven)  
Remove Unused Snapshots from Repository – Delete unused SNAPSHOT (but I read this has been replaced with Cleanup Policies)

Thanks a lot for your help!
