[SOLVED] Delete File after Execution

Hy.

I'm working on a project that implies the generation and execution of a new fex to obtain the resultset (see more info here).

So, I need to delete the dinamicly generated fex after I have executed it.

So far I've tried with this at the end of the fex that uses the resultset of the dynamic one:

-WINNT DEL &wf_name

The file gets deleted but my main fex isn't able to use the resultset before.

Thanks for the help.

Andrew.

FYI, when commenting the Delete line...

-* WINNT DEL &wf_name

...The report gets showed nicely. The only upset then is the presence of a new file on the respective application folder.

Try:

-* Get data and produce file
TABLE FILE ...
ON TABLE HOLD AS MYHOLD
END
..
-* Produce report
TABLE FILE MYHOLD
..
END
..
-RUN <-- Make sure everything up to this point is executed
..
-* Delete file
-WINNT del myhold.ftm
..

José Andrés, WebFOCUS commands get "stacked" for later execution unlike Dialog Manager commands which are executed right away. That is the reason why you have to ask WebFOCUS to -RUN all commands in the stack *before* the -WINNT command attempts to remove your file.

I hope that makes sense Confused

It does make sense Neftaly, and it worked!

All I needed was the -RUN just before -WINNT DEL.

Thanks!

If you know in which APP folder the temporary fex is created, you can also use the APP DELETEFile command to delete it:

APP DELETEF appname filename filetype

for example:

APP DELETEF baseapp &wf_name fex

Do the .FEX that produce the file and the one that produces the report run asynchronously? That's the only reason why you'd need to manually remove the file.

If they run in sequence as part of a unique session, just let the tool create the hold file in the edatemp location assigned to your session and it will be removed automatically after everything finishes.

-* Call procedure to retrieve data and create HOLD file
-INCLUDE get_data_and_hold
..
-* Do some extra stuff
..
-* Produce report out of HOLD file previouly created
-INCLUDE do_report
..
-* Done. HOLD file will be removed by the reporting server as soon as this session ends.

Confused

You are dynamically creating a fex.

Is this created from a fex ?, if so it will be created in the temp directory of the agents session, and will be deleted after the execution is finished.
