Hi,
I want to know how to automatically purge the attachements which are 30days old?
I have checked in the attachement settings but it just gives me the location of the directory where attachements are stored.
Please help its urgent.
Thanks
Yogi
I don't think that this is possible. The only way to delete from jira is inside every issue, and your user need to have the permissions to do that.
Other way could be erasing the attachment from the directory but this won't be automatically. You can search in Plugin Exchange to see if there's a plugin for this.
Actually I have this issue in Confluence not in JIRA...sorry my mistake...
OH! ok, that's a whole different thing
In that case, it's good to specify in the tags that it is confluence, for avoiding any mistake.
Confluence Command Line Interface can be used to script a cleanup or archive policy. Use action getAttachmentList to get attachments create date and then removeAttachment to remove them. It would need to go through all the pages in whatever spaces you wanted to apply the policy to.
Hey Bob,
Is there a way to purge old JIRA attachments using your CLI plugin for JIRA?
Thanks!
Yes, pretty much the same technique. Here is an example of getting the list. You might want to use --dateFormat to get the date in form easiest to handle in your script. I just ran this over 3000 issues myself for another purpose. all is a filter in this example. Filters should be used if number of issues > 1000 so CLI will do paging.
--action runFromIssueList --filter all --common "--action getAttachmentList --issue @issue@ --file attachmentList.csv --outputFormat 999 --append" --continue
I should add that for either JIRA or Confluence, if you edit the resulting csv file that is produced to reduce it to just the attachments you want to remove AND remove the columns that are not needed by the remove command, then you can use runFromCsv to actually do the deletes without any scripting.
