MID Server File Cleaner

  • 릴리스 버전: Australia

  • 소요 시간: 5분

    • A monitor thread runs in the MID Server to clean up old files, to keep the size and quantity of files within the install folder manageable, and to prevent performance issues with the MID Servers.

    Files and empty folders within the following folders may be deleted by this MID File Cleaner. Files last accessed more than 30 days ago are deleted.

    It runs on startup, and then every 24 hours after that. You can force the File Cleaner to run by restarting the MID Server service.

    Folders/files cleaned:

    • \agent\import
    • \agent\export - Used by the Export Set feature.
    • \agent\work\monitors\ECCSender\output_error - Used since San Diego for ECC input payloads that cannot be inserted for any reason (see PRB1521761/KB0995569).
    • \agent\work\monitors\ECCSender\output_oversize - Used since Eureka/Fuji for saving copies of payloads that are not sent to the instance because they are larger than the limit set by mid.eccq.max_payload_size, which defaults to 20000000 bytes (see PRB598334)
    • \agent\logs - Specifically JFR Dumps (Utah release)

    Logging

    The MID Server agent log shows this monitor starting and shutting down with the MID Server.

    There is no logging for individual file/folder deletes.

    Disabling the MID File Cleaner

    Export Sets write files to the MID Server agent\export folders. The idea is then that a custom implementation on the customer side takes those files and moves them elsewhere, so that these files only need to remain in the MID Server application's install directory for a short time.

    The MID File Cleaner can be disabled completely for all folders, by adding the MID Server Configuration Parameter mid.file_cleaner.disabled=true. When the parameter is not present, which is the out-of-box state, it defaults to false, and the file cleaner runs.

    On the MID Server form, click New on the "Configuration Parameters" related list, select mid.file_cleaner.disabled, and enter the value "true".

    This can also be manually added to the config.xml file: <parameter name="mid.file_cleaner.disabled" value="true"/>. See MID Server parameters for more information.
