I created an FME Flow cleanup task for a folder under Resources/Temp. However, cleanup isn’t happening on my test folder because FME Flow isn't resolving to the correct path for the FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP parameter. The path on the server is D:\ProgramData\Safe Software\FMEFlow\resources\temp\, which matches the path for the FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP parameter listed in the fmeServerConfig.txt file. The error in the system cleanup log states “Path not found for system cleanup:D:\ProgramData\Safe Software\FMEFlow\resources\system\temp\AA_Test.” - same but with “system” folder added in the path. Should I be using a different parameter? I'm unclear why the path for FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP is different in the system cleanup task from what is listed in fmeServerConfig.txt file.

Hi ​@aaron,

 Could you provide a screenshot of your cleanup task settings?


Hi ​@timatsafe, strangely the cleanup task started working on my test folder soon after I posted this even though I made no changes (i.e. - did nothing). I have since set up the cleanup task for the entire Resources → Temp folder and it is working as expected (screenshot for that attached). Thanks for reaching out. I’m good to go.


Hi ​@aaron

Glad to hear that! If you do run into any issues with this again let me know or feel free to submit a case!
