<![CDATA[Deleting Archive from Target]]>Hi All,

Sorry if this has been asked before, I have searched and didn't find anything.

How do you delete archived (from TRND) data from the target device? Can it be deleted when you load a new configuration?

Cheers

Mike

Thank you for the reply

Rebooting, swapping executive and AFLUSH work fine, new data being written to the disk in time period does not work though.

thanks for update on this. The reboot isn't necessary. The file should be created also when:

Let me know if it work for you.

Cheers,

I have tried this and it seems you can run the command while the execution is running. But for a new archive file to be created you need to reboot.

If I use the block to run the command to delete the archive. Can this be done while the process is running, will REX create a new file straight away? Or should I reboot once the file is deleted?

Cheers

Mike

For details on how to use the EPC function block, head to example on MP3 Playback: https://www.rexygen.com/example-projects/0304_External_Programs/0304-02_MP3_Playback/0304-02_MP3_Playback.html

thanks for your question.
There is only one way how to delete the archived data - just delete the files/folders on the target device.
Following line will delete all the archived data:

sudo rm -rf /rex/arc/

Hope it helps.

Regards,
Tomas
