Hi, We are running the below script to get rid of aging .kdb files. H

Hi Liya, are you using the PS Build? In your <APPIAN_HOME>\\ directory do you have a runtime_ear directory?

What are the results of the following commands:
-> $ java –version
-> $ echo $JAVA_HOME
-> $ echo $ANT_HOME

It seems like the ANT_HOME is being set incorrectly. The Build fails when it tries to look for the following class:
com.appian.ant.datamaintenance.Purge

This should be present in <APPIAN_HOME>\          hirdpartyapps\\apache-ant\\classes\\com\\appian\\ant\\datamaintenance

Additionally, Who is the owner of the Appian directory where the engine database files are (*.kdb)? What user are you using to run cleanup? Have you tried using the same user as the one who owns the Appian directory where the engine database files are (*.kdb)?

Hi Patty..
Thanks for your inputs. I checked the settigs of ANT_HOME and they were not poiting to path - <APPIAN_HOME>\\appian\          hirdpartyapps\\apache-ant.
I ahve set it now and the scripts above are working fine..God huge free disk space :-)

I got the same C:\\appian\\server\\_scripts\\ant\\aemovefiles.xml:46: Target doesn't exist! error on a 7.5 install on Windows. Was logged in as Administrator, but still had to "run as administrator" for the cmd window for the script to work.

I don't have the class com.appian.ant.datamaintenance.Purge in <APPIAN_HOME>\          hirdpartyapps\\apache-ant\\classes\\com\\appian\\ant\\datamaintenance

How do I get it?

It was there before? For some reason, I don't see it now.

This should have been part of the Appian Installation. What version of Appian are you using? Can you confirm that the thirdpartyapps folder exists in <APPIAN_HOME>? Is there an environment variable defined for ANT?

I am using Appian 7.4.. Yes, the thirdpartyapps folder exists in <APPIAN_HOME>..Yes, there is an environment variable defined for ANT
