Content Deployment Dosen't Clean Up TempFiles

Asked By: Conor Booth Date: Mar 16, 2010 Category: Sharepoint Views: 406

Deploying content between two farms, the Authoring farm cleans up temp cab files after deployment job runs but the destination farm keeps the cab files and folders around after the job completes and never deletes. They seem to have a lock on them since I can't delete them says another process is using them.. I thought that it was supposed to clean up after? Any ideas?

Usually SharePoint clean up the content deployment temporary files unless you tell him not to. These files cannot be deleted unless you delete the content deployment job first and restart the OWSTimer.

To tell SharePoint to keep or to not keep the temporary files, there is an StsAdm command : Editcontentdeploymentpath. It has a parameter (-KeepTemporaryfiles) that you can configure to Never, Always, or on Failure. See more details here : technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262814.aspx

Sometimes, it's helpful to keep the temporary files for debugging purposes in case the deployment job fails.
