Question:
When the "dfm_maxage" is exceeded, the deferred files under the dfm_dir folder will be deleted, When will the files be deleted? Is it when the service is restarted?
 

We have investigated the timing of the deletion of deferred files and have confirmed that they are deleted at two different times.

(1) When the Reporting Server process is started.

(2) Approximately one hour after "dfm_maxage" expires.

When the expiration date of the deferred asset is "2023/5/8 16:00:00", the deferred file was deleted at "2023/5/8 16:59:59".

According to our operation verification, there was a 1 hour delay between the expiration of dfm_maxage and the deletion of files under \ibi\srv82\wfs\dfm_dir.

Is this expected behavior?

dfm_maxage
Defines the maximum number of days that deferred reports are kept in the server after they are created. The value zero (0) means the age is unlimited. The default value is 30.

Yes, this is an expected behavior
