Change how long files are saved on the server (ELIB Scandinavia)

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph
• Product Version: 21

Desired Outcome Goal:
Change how long files are saved in the scratch directories of the libraries and libris.data

Procedure:
There is a job called $aleph_proc/elib_opryd that will clean up more or less every directory related to elib_jobs (among them libris.data)

Each area that is cleaned has its own environment variable to control how many days to spare.

This can be set in configuration file $alephe_dev/local/elib_opryd.conf

Like:

setenv savetime_libris 60

If the script runs un-changed it will take away every scratch files that is older than 30 days
More details about the possible variables can be found in the header of script $aleph_proc/elib_opryd (in Danish language)

# elib_opryd <local>
#
# Hvis local er angivet ryddes kun op i $ALEPH_LIBS
#
# Rydder op i aleph kataloger
#
# savetime kan sættes i aleph_start.private
# Er den ikke sat bliver default 30 dage
#
# Der kan også sættes mere specifikke savetimes i
# $alephe_dev/local/elib_opryd.conf
#
# savetime_libris 3 Libris filer
# savetime_burk 3 Burk filer
# savetime_log 3 Filer i log
# savetime_fsymbol 3 fsymbol filer (bruges af ALEPH)
# savetime_tmp 3 Filer i tmp (gælder også fsymbol filer)

# savetime_kvit 7 Filer i postkvit
