Delete file

Delete file

The advanced utilities workflow component, Delete file can be used in order to delete a local file. A prerequisite for using this workflow component is, that the global setting, Allow direct file access has been enabled on the Global system settings.

  

The delete file workflow component has these parameters:

    
  1. File path
    This is the specification of the file, that is to be deleted. In the example above the path and file is found via an xpath expression i.e inside the node /file/absolutePath of the current payload we expect to find the path (including the file name) of the file, that is to be deleted.
    The file can of course also be selected via a text constant.
  2. Comment
    An optional comment for this component.
