All,

We have some ReportCaster jobs that are doing some heavy ETL processing. While we are processing we are creating a large amount (20+) FTM files and the corresponding MAS files. Is there a command or technique that we can use to clean up and remove these files after we are done utilizing them?

Thanks!

Hi

In a post processing fex you can issue OS commands starting with a !.


! rm /ibi/apps/baseapp/*.ftm
! rm /ibi/apps/baseapp/*.mas


You will need to specify the correct directory where the files exist.


Thank you for using Focal Point!

Look up APP DELETEF in the documentation.

If they are temporary files anyway, why don't you store them in a temporary location in the first place? They'll get cleaned out automatically.

Either don't specify a location (they get removed at the end of the procedure) or use FOCCACHE if you need the files in multiple procedures (cleaned after the session times out).

Are you using APP HOLD perhaps? That could be a cause for pollution with supposedly temporary files in your app directories...

I agree with Wep5622 eliminate the APP HOLD and your problem goes away.
