Is there any api or a way to remove 'Extracted files' with additional information(ScheduleId, ReportExtractionId... )? What our team wants to do is remove specific file on 'Extracted files' PROGRMATICALLY.
In document below, I just found about 'Clean up' section, but there is no about 'Extracted files'. (Only about instrument list, a report template and a schedule)
Hi,
I would recommend using the .NET Example Application (C# / Direct HTTP - executable code examples):
https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi.Help/Home/ExampleAppInstructions
(from landing page: https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi.Help/Home/Index - DSS credentials required)
Once unzipped use ...\RESTAPIExampleApplication\bin\Release\Dss.Api.Examples.exe
Login into DSS App using DSS credentials
The "Schedule Extractions" (section) > "Cleanup" example should help here, particularly this part of the code:
//Delete the extracted files, schedule, instrument list and report template. See the "Cleanup" example for
//the various steps involved with cleanup. NOTE: It is a good idea to clean up the extracted files (Report Extractions)
//once you have downloaded the results. If the schedule is not immediate (i.e. recurring), you want to keep the
//instrument list, report template and schedule around.
if (schedule.ScheduleId != null)
{
//Get the extractions so that we can delete the extraction files
var scheduleExtractions = ExtractionsContext.ReportExtractionOperations.GetByScheduleId(schedule.ScheduleId);
foreach (var reportExtraction in scheduleExtractions)
{
//Get all the files for this extraction
ExtractionsContext.LoadProperty(reportExtraction, "Files");
//Use the DeleteMultiple method to delete all the files associated with the schedule
var fileIds = reportExtraction.Files
.Where(f => f.ContentsExists).Select(f => f.ExtractedFileId).ToList();
if (fileIds.Count > 0)
ExtractionsContext.ExtractedFileOperations.DeleteMultiple(fileIds);
}
This landing page can also be found via the DSS GUI: https://hosted.datascope.reuters.com/DataScope/ > "Help" (dropdown) > "REST API Help"
