| 3 | "PurgeFiles" is a connector that allows adminstrators to delete all unused Files from directories by including all patterns desired in a format file. | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | The connector has been built in order to give more storage capacity to the next files that will be created. | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | Our connector's presentation is going to be described by details in 3 parts : | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | 1. Parameters: | ||
| 10 | 11. format (example) | ||
| 11 | 1. Use | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | = Parameters = | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | The only parameter used in the PurgeFiles connector is a 'format' file. | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | The format file contains the following parameters : | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | * iXPurgeJobFiles : XML root node containing all patterns nodes to be deleted, it has an attribute called '__stopTime__' that indicates number of minutes to stop the PurgeJobFiles. | ||
| 20 | * iXPattern : a node that has one attribute '__Retention__' that refers the number of days, if the file is older than the 'Retention' value , it will be deleted. The value of '__iXPattern__' should contain the pattern of job files target. | ||
| 21 | ** if the value of pattern finish by __'/' __, it means that we want to delete directories. | ||
| 22 | ** if not , the connector delete file that match with the pattern. | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | = Format (example) = | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | Below, we find an example showing a format file to delete job files with some patterns : | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | 1. We want to delete all job files in a stopTime of 5 minutes. | ||
| 29 | 1. The first pattern to be deleted is : '/jobs/*/*/*/*/logs/' older than //**25 days**.// the connector in this case will delete all **__directories__** matching with the pattern. | ||
| 30 | 1. The second pattern to be deleted is : '/jobs/2021/*/*/*/out/OUT.TRK ' older than **//17 days. //**The connector in this case will delete all __**files**__ matching with the pattern. | ||
