Deleting Bix Generated Files in the Pega server location
As part of our project, we are generating BIX Files on the daily basis in the Local directory within PEGA Server.
I am currently looking for PEGA based solution to delete the files older than a month from server. Is there any ootb or any other solution to implement this.

@BharanideviK there is no ootb solution available for this... but technically you can implement a file delete program in java step of your activity and schedule a job scheduler to run it every day. a sample program
File fold = new File(dirPath);
if (fold.exists()) {
File[] listAllFiles = folder.listAllFiles();
long Deletion = System.currentTimeMillis() -
(nday * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 L);
for (File listFile: listAllFiles) {
if (listFile.getName().endsWith(extension) &&
listFile.lastModified() < Deletion) {
if (!listFile.delete()) {
System.out.println("Sorry can't delete");
}
}
}
}
here nday is your number of days.
