Unable to delete the file from server
We are using PRPC 6.1 SP2. We have a requirement to save a file into server and we could able to save using connect-file and file has to be deleted from server location in case of exception scenario but we could not able to delete file in exception scenarios.
Server path and file name is like /a/b/c/xyz.txt
we used the below code to delete file
PRFile uploadedFile = new PRFile(SavedFile);
oLog.error(uploadedFile.exists());
if(uploadedFile!=null && uploadedFile.exists()){
oLog.error("Inside Server delete");
uploadedFile.delete();
}
uploadedFile.exists() method returns false and we could not able to delete the file. All privileges are given for the file in server. Please advise.

Hi Rajeev,
PRFile class is unable to locate the server path and so could not able to delete the file from server.
Used java.io.File class in place of PRFile and it works for same location. Not sure if there is an issue with PRFile class in 6.1 SP2.

Hi Naveen
Please have a look at this SA item : https://community.pega.com/support/support-articles/remove-file-service-export-directory
This can give you some clue.

Also, it is important to check whether your users are having proper read write permission for that folder ?

When tried to delete the file from pxProcess.pxServiceExportPath location, we could able to delete but when trying to remove from custom folder, system says file is not found. Verified the permisions with WAS team and permissions(775) are fine.
Process.pxServiceExportPath path is as file://web:/StaticContent/global/ServiceExport/
Is there any issue with the path? Path given for custome folder as /a/b/c/xyz.txt

This is because , system picks pxServiceExportPath from here: <env name="Initialization/pxServiceExportPath" value="<directory>"/>
So you can play around this env parameter and see if it helps.

Intead of taking from pxServiceExportPath, hardcoded the path and verified, file is deleted but not if the path is /a/b/c/xyz.txt
Any more suggesions please?

Hi,
Pega com.pega.pegarules.pub.util.PRFile is similar to java.io.File.
I have not tested this but i think below tutorial will help you to achieve your requirement.

Let me know if this works for you, Meanwhile, I will try to test your usecase as well.
