Thanks Louis! So I'm not sure if I'm doing this right because the literature doesn't say a whole lot about setting it up. It doesn't even talk about all of the fields and what they're used for (http://continuum.apache.org/docs/1.3.7/administrator_guides/purgeConfiguration.html).
So here's what I did: Added a schedule: Purge_Files that runs every morning at 7 a.m. Set Purge Configurations for both releases and buildoutput that are supposed to delete for 15 day and older files. Set to enabled and scheduled with Purge_Files. I have no clue where logs for this might be as I haven't put this in, nor do I know how to put this in, any Project Group. Thanks, Eric ________________________________ From: Louis Smith <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: Eric Fetzer <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, March 25, 2011 9:33:28 AM Subject: Re: Purge Configuration We have it configured - however, our SDI was on such a small box that there were also CRON jobs running every few hours to "clean up" everything possible... so we haven't been able to validate/verify if continuum is doing it correctly. Our new SDI box is a MUCH larger box, and we will configure this and can begin testing - that should be 2 weekends from now if all goes well... Sorry I can't help right now.
