<# Script: MDL-NotProcessed-Cleanup.ps1 Emil Holgersen, Thales, 2021-04-21 This script deletes old subfolders from Incoming_notprocessed_files The script is meant to run as a daily scheduled job on the MDL servers, and it has to be run with an account that has "full access" to the folder in question. Note that this script was made as a response to the fact that no such feature existed after platform reinstall with version 10.2. I have no idea how this was folder was kept from eating the disk space in prior versions of the system #> $LogFile = "D:\ifsbosystem\log\EWOPS-MDL-NotProcessedCleanup-$(Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-dd').log" $RootFolder = 'D:\IFSBOData\FSV\Incoming_notprocessed_files\*' $MaxAge = 14 Function Write-Log([String] $LogText,[ValidateSet('INFO','WARN','ERROR','FATAL','DEBUG')][String]$Level='INFO'){ # Please note that this function requires a $logfile var to be defined, otherwise it will output to pipeline (the standard output, usually the screen) If ($LogFile) { Add-Content -Path $LogFile -Value "$(Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss') $Level - $Logtext" } Else { Write-Output "$(Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss') $Level - $Logtext" } } Write-Log -LogText "Job start" $Folders = Get-ChildItem -Path $RootFolder -Directory If(-not $Folders) { Write-Log -Level WARN -LogText "Job stopping prematurely - No folders found" } Else { Write-Log -LogText "Found $($Folders.Count) folders" ForEach($Folder in $Folders) { Try { Write-Log -LogText "Checking $($Folder.FullName)" If (($Folder.Name -match '^(?[0-9]{4})(?[0-9]{2})(?[0-9]{2})$') -eq 'True') { # this line is to validate the foldername and simultaneously extract the date If ($([DateTime]"$($Matches.Year)-$($Matches.Month)-$($Matches.day)").AddDays($MaxAge) -le $(Get-Date)) { # Check that the date is older than maxage $Folder | Remove-Item -Recurse -Force Write-Log -LogText "$($Folder.Name) is more than $MaxAge days old, folder deleted" } Else { Write-Log -LogText "$($Folder.Name) kept" } } Else { Write-Log -Level WARN -LogText "$($Folder.Name) doesn't fit naming format, folder ignored" } } Catch { Write-Log -Level FATAL -LogText "Failed: $($_.ToString().Trim())" } } } Write-Log -LogText "Job complete"
