Another PurgeWhenFull problem.

seabro · Post by **seabro** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 8:26 am

Hi,

I am running 1.22.3

I have a PWF filter setup to run in background, when disk percent greater than 50, sort by ID ASC, limit to first 1000 records, delete all matches.

It doesn't work automatically.

If I 'execute' the filter manually, it brings up 1000 records, but I then have to select all and delete'.

I tried creating 'PurgeWhenFull2' and thats doesn't appear to work.

Obviously, the system works, so I must be doing something wrong but I can't work it out for the life of me.

Whilst I am here, whats the difference between submit and execute on the filter window?

Thanks for your help.

What does that mean? Should it work?

If it doesn't work automatically, check zmfilter.log for any error that may be happening.

I had a case that filters weren't being executed till I deleted a faulty filter (xPurgeWhenFull), after that, all my filters worked.

To your have "delete" as the action set in the filter? A silly mistake that I still do from time to time.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Thanks to you we are a little closer!

My zmfilter.log remains empty but zmdc.log states:

[root@localhost zm]# tail zmdc.log

Anyone have any ideas what the cause might be?

Thanks a bunch!

Sounds like you might have upgraded from a previous version.
1.23.x now uses serialization, search this topic for "PurgeWhenFull serialization" for more info.
You could also delete and recreate the purge filter and should fix your problem.

Hi Cordel,

I am running v1.22.3

I have not previously upgraded.

I have deleted PWF filter and recreated.

I then stopped ZM, deleted all log files and started it again only to find same messages in zmdc.log and an empty zmfilter.log

I will have a read about serialization now but if you have any more suggestions I would be grateful.
