CWSSerices Logs consuming all diskspace on server. -
Lösung
Error:
Customer reports that the Diskspace on their server is being consumed by CWSServices.log files
Symptoms:
This error appears when Global search has been enabled on any version of Casewise Evolve or Erwin Evolve web platform because log files are generated daily
Resolution
To Resolve this issue we need to delete the log files that are no longer needed, this can be done manually by navigating to the log folder and selecting all but the latest .log files and deleting them.
Alternatively a batch script can be created which can either be run periodically by an Administrator or can be automated using Task scheduler.
Example batch file that will delete anything older than 3 days, just insert the Path to log folder and save as a .bat file:
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
@ECHO on
timeout /t 03
:Casewise Evolve command line
ForFiles /p "Path to log folder" /s /d -3 /c "cmd /c del @file"timeout /t 05
EXIT 0___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
