Customizing transport file cleanup

By default, the Transport Service regularly cleans up the temporary transport files it creates. You can change this behavior by setting the Cleanup attribute of the WorkFolder element to false in the Transport Service configuration..

Procedure

  1. Open cd_transport_conf.xml, by default located in the Content Manager config directory, in a plain-text or XML editor.
  2. In the WorkFolder element, set the Cleanup attribute to false.
  3. Save and close cd_transport_conf.xml.
  4. Access your Windows Services.
  5. Restart the Tridion Transport Service.

Results

The temporary transport files created by the Transport Service are no longer cleaned up automatically and you will have to clean up these files written to the WorkFolder yourself.
