Alfresco Trashcan Cron Not Working

[suayb58]

Hello,Everyone.i want to delete trashan every 30 minute using trashcan cron.i pasted that in alfresco.properties file:

trashcan-cleaner.cron=0 0/30 * * * ?

trashcan cron is starting.but no files in trash can be deleted.alfresco.log record in alfresco.log:

2018-08-19 22:56:00,051 DEBUG [org.alfresco.trashcan.TrashcanCleaner] [DefaultScheduler_Worker-2] Running TrashcanCleaner
2018-08-19 22:56:00,082 DEBUG [org.alfresco.trashcan.TrashcanCleaner] [DefaultScheduler_Worker-2] Found 11 nodes on trashcan

2018-08-19 22:56:00,082 DEBUG [org.alfresco.trashcan.TrashcanCleaner] [DefaultScheduler_Worker-2] TrashcanCleaner finished

number of deletes is 0.but it found 11 nodes on trashan.why these nodes are not being deleted? How can I solve this problem?

Hi,

The nodes might not be getting deleted as they dont pass the criteria of daysToKeep parameter.

You can configure this param to tell cleaner about number of days deleted docs to be kept in trash can. For e.g. if you configure it as 7, it will remove content from the trashcan and mark them as orphan if a content has been in the trashcan for more than 7 days.

To delete from the trashcan without waiting any grace period set the trashcan.daysToKeep property value to -1.

Hope this helps!!!

I added this criteria in alfresco global properties.trashcan cron is starting.but no files in trash can be deleted again .

added criteria in alfresco-global.properties file

trashcan-cleaner.cron=0 0/4 * * * ?
trashcan.daysToKeep=-1

log record in alfresco.log

trashcan-cleaner.keepPeriod : Specifies the period for which trashcan items are kept (in the java.time.Duration format).

You can try P-1D OR -P1D. Is this doesn't work, you need to do some research for specifying in duration format.

Thanks,i  tried -P1D. this criterion works fine.
