When you say "way for delete the content of a specific folder every night",
You can write a scheduled job that will run on schedule and deletes the files in the configured folder.
Refer these docs to learn more on scheduled jobs:
https://docs.alfresco.com/6.2/references/dev-extension-points-scheduled-jobs.html
https://hub.alfresco.com/t5/alfresco-content-services-blog/creating-scheduled-job-in-alfresco/ba-p/2...
Your scheduled job could be something like:
public class FolderCleanupJobProcessor extends AbstractScheduledLockedJob {
private NodeService nodeService;
private SearchService searchService;
private TransactionService transactionService;
private String deleteNodesSearchQuery;
@Override
public void executeJob(final JobExecutionContext jobCtx)
throws JobExecutionException {
try {
// Run as system user since this job is user independent hence
// permission is required on repository
AuthenticationUtil.setRunAsUserSystem();
//Create a method to get the file nodes from the configured folder
//getListOfFilesFromArchiveFolder method can execute a search query and fetch all the nodes from the configured folder for deletion.
final List<NodeRef> toBeDeletedNodes = getListOfFilesFromArchiveFolder();
if (null != toBeDeletedNodes && !toBeDeletedNodes.isEmpty()) {
for (final NodeRef nodeRef : toBeDeletedNodes) {
final RetryingTransactionCallback<Object> txnWork = new RetryingTransactionCallback<Object>() {
public Object execute() throws Exception {
// Delete the nodeRef
if (nodeService.exists(nodeRef)) {
nodeService.deleteNode(nodeRef);
}
return null;
}
};
transactionService.getRetryingTransactionHelper().doInTransaction(txnWork);
}
}
} catch (Exception excp) {
//LOG Errors
}
}
//This method can execute a search query and fetch all the nodes from the configured folder for deletion.
private List<NodeRef> getListOfFilesFromArchiveFolder() {
List<NodeRef> nodeRefList = null;
ResultSet results = null;
try {
//deleteNodesSearchQuery is for example: PATH:"/app:company_home/app:dictionary/cm:yourFolderName//*"
//considering your folder is in /Company Home/Data Dictionary/ folder. You can adjust the search query depending on the location of your archive folder.
//if your folder is in a site then, query could be something like: PATH:"/app:company_home/st:sites/cm:test-site/cm:documentLibrary/cm:yourFolderName//*"
//in the above query, cm:test-site is the site short name.
results = searchService.query(StoreRef.STORE_REF_WORKSPACE_SPACESSTORE, SearchService.LANGUAGE_LUCENE, deleteNodesSearchQuery);
if (null != results) {
nodeRefList = results.getNodeRefs();
}
} finally {
if (results != null) {
results.close();
}
}
return nodeRefList;
}
public void setNodeService(final NodeService nodeService) {
this.nodeService = nodeService;
}
public void setSearchService(final SearchService searchService) {
this.searchService = searchService;
}
public void setTransactionService(final TransactionService transactionService) {
this.transactionService = transactionService;
}
public void setDeleteNodesSearchQuery(final String deleteNodesSearchQuery) {
this.deleteNodesSearchQuery = deleteNodesSearchQuery;
}
}
[EDIT]: @EddieMay already provided useful stuff. Above response is additonal.
