The Azure Blob Storage Delete Job allows you to delete a blob from an Azure Blob Storage container.

On the Delete Job page you define the parameters relevant to run that job on the Azure Blob Storage system from Automic Automation.

Note:

Some fields allow you to open a picker dialog from where you can select the file and the container. By default, only 200 entries are displayed. If the relevant file or container is not displayed among those 200, please type in the relevant name on the Search field to narrow down the list.

  • Connection

    Connection object that has the relevant information to connect to the Azure Blob Storage environment. To search for a Connection object, start typing its name to limit the list of the objects that match your input.

  • Container

    Azure Blob Storage container where the blob that you want to delete is located. You can click the browse button to the right of the field to open a picker dialog with all the available containers.

  • Source File Path

    Source File Path from where you want to delete the files. The file path can be a folder path or complete file path. For example, testFolder/ where the slash indicates a folder that is searched for. Specifying a complete path indicates a single file that should be deleted. You can also click the browse button to the right of the field to open a picker dialog with all the available paths of the individual files.

  • File Filters

    (Optional) Provide a regular expression for deleting multiple files at a time. For example, define *.txt if you want to delete only files with a .txt ending.

    Notes:

    • You must either fill in the Source File Path or the File Filters field. If both of them are empty, the job will fail.

    • File Filters should be empty in case of absolute source file path. The job fails in case Source File Path contains an absolute path and a file filter.

    • If File Filters is kept empty, all the files defined inside the Source File Path except for the sub-directories are deleted.

  • Retry Timeout

    (Optional) The retry timeout defines the minutes and how long the job should retry to upload the files before failing in case of server-side issues.

    • 0 (default)
      There is no timeout; the job tries to upload the files until you cancel it manually on the Automic Automation side.

    • Greater than 0

      If you define a positive value here, the job tries to upload the files for the specified number of minutes and will fail afterward. If you cancel the job within the defined number of minutes, it will also fail.

    • Less than 0

      If you define a negative value here, the job fails immediately without retrying.

Notes:

  • If the blob that you specify in this job does not exist in the container, the job still executes successfully. The Agent Log contains an entry providing information on this.

  • The Pre-Process page allows you to define the settings of all Azure Blob Storage jobs using script statements. These statements are processed before the Schedule Job is executed, see Setting Azure Blob Storage Job Properties Through Scripts.
