artifacts_cleanup_enabled Configuration

[JoaoMotta]

Hello everybody. While analyzing my QEM i have found that i have one task that is taking over 155GB of disk. And its not even my biggest task. While doing some research i discovered that this may be happening because when Replicate reads a batch from the database and send´s it to the target, it keeps a copy of those files inside its disk. And i also discovered that there is a option to get rid of these files, that don´t seem to be that important, since any type of stop/resume on a CDC task does not involve them, and a reload gets rid of them, but to do that i have to enable this artifacts_cleanup_enabled parameter. However i dont think there is a way to enable it by the UI, so my questions are: Have i really found the solution for my problem? If so, how can i enable it? Can it have any negative effects on my task/server? Thanks!

Hello @JoaoMotta ,

From your description specifically "and a reload gets rid of them" — it appears these are .tswp files located under the sort folder. Could you please confirm whether these files are found in the following path (with the default data folder configuration)?

C:\Program Files\Attunity\Replicate\data\tasks\<taskName>\sorter\<fileName>.tswp

Regarding the artifacts_cleanup_enabled configuration: this feature is currently supported only with the Microsoft Azure Databricks endpoint. While it can be helpful for cleaning up old partitions, it applies to files stored in Databricks and does not affect files on the Qlik Replicate Server disk.

Based on the information so far, this appears to be more of a performance-related issue. I recommend opening a support ticket and including the following details:

1. Set target_apply/performance to Trace and reproduce the issue.
2. Provide a file listing from the \sorter directory.
3. Download and upload the Diagnostics Package.

Our support team will be happy to review the information and assist you further.

Hope this helps.

John.
