Cleaning up Temp Files

Enterprise Vault cleans up temporary files, using the Admin Service.  You can

Create a Dtrace Filter as follows :

Dtrace

Set adminservice v

Filter

Clear includes

Include CCleanUptempFiles

Exit

Log to a file, and then MON

Once an hour you will get the following :

2465 10:00:44.968 [5104] (AdminService) <2308> EV:M CCleanUpTempFiles::ThreadRoutine – GetTempPath

There are a couple of things to note :

• It runs once per hour
• It will remove non-read-only files which aren’t in use
• By default it will use the file pattern : $*.* and ~DF*.TMP.
• It won’t delete files newer than 24 hours old

Control of the last two options is through the registry keys :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREKVSEnterprise VaultAdminService

DelFileTypes = “~DF*.tmp;EV$*.*;*.tmp”

DelFilesOlderThanHours

These are read dynamically (at the next run interval)
