A project version becomes archived after a new version of that project is published to Cameo Collaborator.
Managing archived versions includes
Deleting archived versions from the trash folder
By default, archived versions are stored in the same folder with live versions for 14 days. Then they are moved to the trash folder and stored there for unlimited period of time. In the course of time, archived versions take up the large part of the server disc space.
To handle the issue, you must manually delete the archived versions from time to time.
To delete archived versions from the trash folder manually
Open <Alfresco Community installation directory>\alf_data\contentstore.deleted.
If Cameo Collaborator is installed to C:\Alfresco, then you need to open C:\Alfresco\alf_data\contentstore.deleted.
- Delete all files in this folder.
Changing the duration of keeping archived versions in the live versions folder
You can change the duration of keeping archived versions in the same folder with live versions.
Live versions are stored in <Alfresco Community installation directory>\alf_data\contentstore.
If Cameo Collaborator is installed to C:\Alfresco, then live versions are stored in C:\Alfresco\alf_data\contentstore.
By default, archived versions are kept in this folder for 14 days as well. Then they are moved to the trash folder.
To change the duration of keeping archived version in the contentstore folder
Stop Cameo Collaborator.
Open <Alfresco Community installation directory>\tomcat\webapps.
If Cameo Collaborator is installed to C:\Alfresco, then you need to open C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps.
- Open (don't extract!) the alfresco.war file.
- In the alfresco.war file, open WEB-INF\lib\alfresco-repository-5.0.d.jar\alfresco and find the repository.properties file.
Open the file and find the following line:
system.content.orphanProtectDays=14
Change the number of days according to your needs.
The number must be ≥ 1.
If you want the archived versions to be moved to the trash folder after 5 days, change the line as follows:
system.content.orphanProtectDays=5
- Get back to <Alfresco Community installation directory>\tomcat\webapps and delete the alfresco folder with all its contents.
- Save and close the file.
- Start Cameo Collaborator.
Changing the frequency of moving the archived versions to the trash folder
