In the administrative user interface, you can customize
the settings for the length of time document generation jobs, generation
results, and logs are available to view and download. By default,
every day, the temporary files that are seven days old are deleted.
Before you begin
- If -Dcom.ibm.rational.rpe.remote.debug is set
to true, some temporary files are not deleted
automatically. These temporary files include document specifications,
templates, and stylesheets.
Set -Dcom.ibm.rational.rpe.remote.debug to false to
allow all document generation jobs, generation results, and logs to
be automatically deleted from the Monitor & Control component
after the designated amount of time. See Configuring remote flags for the Web Services application for more
information about setting the -Dcom.ibm.rational.rpe.remote.debug flag.
- If a document generation fails, the temporary files that are related
to that job are not automatically deleted. These files are not deleted
so that you can troubleshoot the reason for the failure. To manually
delete these files, see Cleaning up the Web Services application server manually.
About this task
Document generation jobs, generation results, and logs that
are seven days old are removed every day by default.
Procedure
To adjust the length of time document generation jobs,
generation results, and logs are available:
- Click Documents clean-up.
- For the Documents age, select the
number of days a file can remain on the server before the file is
deleted. The default value is seven days.
- For the Clean-up interval, select
how often the deletion is to occur. The default value is every one
day.
- Click Save changes to save the changes
and close the window without deleting anything immediately or click Save
changes and run now to perform an immediate cleanup of
the files.
Results
If you find that the temporary files are not deleting, verify
that the document generation jobs are not failing and that the
-Dcom.ibm.rational.rpe.remote.debug flag
is set to the correct value.
