Subject: [Vantage] RE: E9: Dealing with temp files on server



I have a batch file schedule to run each night to remove files at various age intervals, the -d says how many days old the file has to be before deleting. I used to scan user directories too as in old versions of 9 and 8 they weren't being cleaned up either properly.



Not sure how clean this batch file is going to look, but I'll paste it in. Remove the user specific file section if you don't want to scan them.

Hi All,

How are others dealing with the temp files that Epicor generates?
I have the standard EPICORTEMP folder and it’s loaded with a ton of baq*.p, srt*, rcda*, lbia*, and DBI* files.
Occasionally, during a restart, I will manually clear this folder out but for the most part this folder has hundreds of thousands of files in it.

Do others just use batch files to delete these files in the middle of the night?
Are there anything of these that are critical and deleting at the wrong moment would cause an issue?

We use a batch file on a schedule to clean this folder. I don't think you can accidentally delete a file at the wrong time because it will be locked with a process.

Pretty much the same batches I have been using with different customers for awhile now.

 

Only thing this doesn’t address is a log file that is updated over and over again, so the file age is never old enough to be deleted, and some of them can get very large, like pelog or globalalerts, and some others.

Yeah, I have a different bat file that cycles the GlobalAlerts and BPM logs each month and keeps around 5 old files for reference as I don't want to straight-up delete them.  I can paste that one in if someone needs.
