IvyScript Files are created in a confined area that belongs to the running application. Temporary files are created in a session-specific file area and <strong>are automatically deleted if a session ends</strong>. Temporary Files can be made persistent.</p> </blockquote> <p>If a <em>temporary</em> <code>File</code> is created, it will be located at <code>{app}/files/sessions/{sessionId}/</code>. The files then will be deleted if the session is invalidated.</p> <p>Unfortunately, this isn't true for <em>temporary</em> files created by SYSTEM user. The SYSTEM user's session is always have the <code>id</code> of <code>0</code>, hence all files created in SYSTEM user's session will be located at <code>{app}/files/sessions/0/</code>.</p> <p>It seems that Ivy Server will never invalidate SYSTEM user's session, thus all files located in the directory will by left there undeleted (same as <em>persistent</em> file).</p> <p>I don't know whether this is a known fact as a consequence of the implementation that SYSTEM user will never be invalidated or it should be considered (somehow) as a bug?</p> <p>Thanks for considering my question.</p> <p>Regards</p>enTue, 29 Sep 2015 16:50:43 -0400https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/1121/temporary-ivy-file-created-by-system-session-will-not-be-deleted/1492<p>Since version 5.0.12 and 5.1 all temporary files are deleted when you restart the engine. This is also true for the System User Session.</p>Reto WeissTue, 29 Sep 2015 16:50:43 -0400https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/1121/temporary-ivy-file-created-by-system-session-will-not-be-deleted/1492https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/1121/temporary-ivy-file-created-by-system-session-will-not-be-deleted#1125<p>I'll contact support@soreco.ch then, thanks for the suggestion. Do you consider to update the document warning the developers to be aware of the problem raised by my question?</p>Genzer HawkerFri, 16 Jan 2015 17:57:30 -0500https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/1121/temporary-ivy-file-created-by-system-session-will-not-be-deleted#1125https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/1121/temporary-ivy-file-created-by-system-session-will-not-be-deleted/1122<p>It is true that the SESSION User Session will never be invalidated and therefore the temporary files created within this session are never going to be deleted. </p> <p>The only problem with this behaviour that I can see currently is that the disk is filled with garbage and may lead sooner or later to a full disk error.</p> <p>At the moment we do not know any customer that this behaviour had caused a full disk error. </p> <p>A possible solution could be to delete the files during startup or shutdown of the Server.</p> <p>If it is a problem for you please report an issue to SoreConnect or per mail to support@soreco.ch</p>Reto WeissFri, 16 Jan 2015 13:19:21 -0500https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/1121/temporary-ivy-file-created-by-system-session-will-not-be-deleted/1122
