Delete Task Configuration
You can configure the following properties for the Delete file operation task:
Field
Description
Task name
Type a unique name for the task.
File filter
Type the name of the file if you want to filter files with specific names. By default, ActiveTransfer Server considers all files. If you want to use regular expression, specify a valid regular expression in File filter and select Use regular expression option.
Note:
You can use wildcard characters to filter the file names. For example, type *.zip to trigger the action only when ZIP files are uploaded or downloaded. To trigger an action based on a name string in the ZIP files, use the name string in the File filter box, preceded and followed by wildcard characters. For example, type *invoice*.zip to trigger the action based on the file URLs, when ZIP files containing the character string invoice in their file names are uploaded or downloaded. If you define a File filter for a task, the task acts only on files that are filtered out.
Few examples for regular expressions are:
*^(?!.*purchaseorder).*$: Excludes files with the file URL containing purchaseorder.
**/out/.*: Include files with the file URL containing the folder out.
*^abc(.*)123$: Includes anything that starts with abc and ends with 123. Matches abc123, abcxyz123, but not abcxyz123def.
*NEW-((*.doc)|(*_backup_*)): Includes anything starting with NEW- that either ends in .doc, or is followed by the string _backup_.
Retry [ ] times at an interval of [ ] seconds
Select this option to retry a failed delete operation for the specified number of times at the interval specified in seconds.
Execute error task
Select this option to execute an error task if the file operation fails. For more details, see Error Task Configuration.
A “delete” task deletes the files that are passed on from the previous task. The deleted files are not passed on to the subsequent task. If a file filter is configured in the task, only then the files that do not match the file filter are passed on to the next task.
