How to clear BO Publication Job output files

[shankarbabu_jinka]

Hi Everyone,

We have BO Publication Job which triggers mails to users with excel attachment. Around 500+ mails with attachments gets generated. Is there a way to clean up these already generated instances. When i checked in File store\Output folder i could see the instances. But these are scattered in different folders and all are not in one folder for particular publication run date.

My Question is

1. How can i delete instances that generated for that particular Publication on a particular day.

2. If i delete those instances will there be any impact.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Shankar,

-You can Login to CMC – go to Instance Manager and filter the Publication as per day and time and then delete the instances.

-You can also set a limit for instances on the publication.

1.Right click on the publication

2.Select Limits

3.Check the option "Delete excess instances when there are more than N
instances of an object"

4.Set the value.

You can also refer to Note 2077255 - How do instance limits work in Business Intelligence
