Automiatic Purge?

[Anonymous]

I want to set up my vaut to automatically purge older versions of my files. I want there to only be 10 versions of each file. Is there a way to do this?

Hi,

One way is to use Windows Task Scheduler together with command line to purge file versions, from wiki:

1. Make sure no users are connected to the vault.
2. Run Connectivity.ADMSConsole.exe from a command line with the following switches:

-Opurge	The operation being performed (required). If this operation is executed without any other switches, the task will run based on revision and lifecycle rules without affecting uncontrolled files.
-Nvault name	The name of the vault to be purged (required).
-Stop	Halts the purge task while it is running.
-Normal	Sets the purge task to a normal system priority.
-KEEPVERSnumberX	Keep the latest X number of versions (optional). The value can range between 1 and 99. The default value is 1.
-MINAGEnumberX	Purge versions older than X number of days (optional). The value can range between 0 and 180. The default value is 0.
-EXCLCMTcomment	Purge versions that do not contain the specified comment (optional). The default value is an empty string, "".
-UNCONTROLLED	Purges versions based on default settings and the revision and lifecycle rules. If used in conjunction with -KEEPVERS, -MINAGE, or -EXCLMT, then the system purges uncontrolled files as well as files based on revision and lifecycle rules.
-VUusername	Vault administrator account user name (required).
-VPpassword	Vault administrator account password (required).

Example from Wiki

Connectivity.ADMSConsole.exe -Opurge -NVault -KEEPVERS10 -MINAGE180 -EXCLCMT"Do not purge" -VUadministrator -VPadmin
