Talend Studio - Job unable to move a log file ("No file deleted")

[RMotta2408]

Hello everyone,

I created a job with the aim of moving log files of a kafka process from one drive (C:\) to another. The reason is that it leaves little empty space on that drive.

But some files I'm unable to move, even after stopping the kafka process. The tFileDelete component keeps giving me the "No file deleted" message (((String)globalMap.get("tFileDelete_1_CURRENT_STATUS"));)

Below is the image I get when I try to manually remove the file from the disk:

Is there a way in a Job to overcome this hurdle?

Thank you so much,

Rui

Hello,

Here is a solution provided in this stackoverflow article about:

You could drag a built-in component tSystem in your current job designer to call Windows command prompt and kill the java process (File in use) firstly and then execute tFileDelete component to move your log files.

Feel free to let us know if it helps.
