Delete Files from Trash

[tron]

Hi,

i found out if i delete folders with lots of files from trash it takes a long time. is it possibile to configure openKM to delete files directly without moving into trash folder?

thanks for help

It's the default behavior. In the API there is a "purge" method which remove the document (or folder) without going to trash, but from UI you only can delete (and this implies move the deleted document or folder to trash). The trash should be emptied periodically to prevent storing a lot of unused documents, and this means it may take a lot of time when emptying it.

okay, so if I understand this correctly, there is a method I could call with my CMIS client to immediately purge a document, rather than move it to the trash folder? I'm asking because we're using only the CMIS protocoll in my project and really would like to keep it that way, than implementing one more API just for this one purge method.

I'm not sure if exists a method for it on CMIS, probably exists a general purpose delete what internally each DMS decide what will be doing. In our case we separate delete from purge action ( not everybody does it ). Anyway if you want each delete be followed by a purge action is so easy. Simply create a Automation task based on document move event, with a validadation ( any document into /okm:trash ) and execute a simply script

Code: Select all

OKMDocument.getInstance().purge(null,uuid);
