| 2 | |||
| 3 | "PurgeFiles" is a connector that allows administrators 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 | 1. format (example) | ||

| 14 | = Parameters = | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | The only parameter used in the PurgeFiles connector is a 'format' file. | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | The format file contains the following parameters : | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | * iXPurgeJobFiles : XML root node containing all patterns nodes to be deleted, it has an attribute called '__stopTime__' that indicates a number of minutes to stop the PurgeJobFiles. | ||
| 21 | * iXPattern : a node that has one attribute '__Retention__' that refers to 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. | ||
| 22 | ** if the value of the pattern finishes by __'/'__, it means that we want to delete directories. | ||
| 23 | ** if not, the connector deletes the file that matches the pattern. | ||

| 27 | = Format (example) = | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | Below, we find an example showing a format file to delete job files with some patterns : | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | 1. We want to delete all job files in a stopTime of 5 minutes. | ||
| 32 | 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. | ||
| 33 | 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. | ||
