Manually deleting output files from ITE applications
Sometimes – especially when testing your application - you need to manually delete the files output by the application to give it a fresh restart. To do the cleanup, remove the checkpointing and output directories, which removes all output that is created in the previous run of the application.
About this task
Determine the paths of the output and checkpoint directory from the values in the <PathToYourApplication>/config/config.cfg file. Then, delete the contents in the directories or the directories themselves.
Procedure
- Find the ite.storage.directory.outputs parameter description in the <PathToYourApplication>/config/config.cfg file
-
On your system change directory into the configured path
-
Delete the contents in this directory, or remove the directory completely
-
Find the ite.checkpointing.directory parameter description in the <PathToYourApplication>/config/config.cfg file
-
On your system change directory into the configured path
-
Delete the contents in this directory, or remove the directory completely
When you restart your application now, it does not know that it ran before. Thus you can use the same set of input data again to do your testing.
