I am using FME Server to move very large files into an Azure data store. The mechanism of this works fine but I would like to delete the files from FME servers temporary file store after the files are used to avoid filling up the memory of the server.
I know that the temporary uploaded files end up in the following location but not how to delete them:
FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_SYSTEM/filesys/temp/upload/Project1/AzureUpload.fmw/Username/*filename*
Thanks!
Hi @jw4554,
You can create scheduled cleanup tasks to remove files. There are the default tasks, as well as an option to create new scheduled tasks.
Hi @jw4554,
You could also create a separate workspace that runs after the processing workspace is done to delete the file. By using automations you can make sure that it runs after successfully completing the processing task.
I often use a SystemCaller at the end of the processing workspace to delete the input file. I prefer this option since it is visible on the canvas as opposite to a 'hidden' shutdown script.
Hope this helps.

Yes I agree - it is good to make the tasks obvious. I've not used a System Caller on FME server before - do I save a .bat file and trigger it?

You could do that or just place the command directly in the systemcaller
