AEM - package garbage collection not working for me

hi folks,

I want to delete old packages so I created this osgi configuration for my server

com.adobe.acs.commons.packagegarbagecollector.PackageGarbageCollectionConfig.xml

 

I entered the following XML, intending to delete the packages in my_packages group older than 30 days every hour.

<jcr:root xmlns:sling="http://sling.apache.org/jcr/sling/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0"
          jcr:primaryType="sling:OsgiConfig"
          scheduler="0 0 0/1 1/1 * ? *"
         maxAgeInDays="30"
          groupName="my_packages
          removeNotInstalledPackages="false"/>

However, after the code is deployed, the hour has come and gone and no sign of any INFO statements in the logs indicating that it has deleted the packages.

(https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/package-garbage-collector/index.html)

 

All I see is this.

*INFO* [JcrInstaller.1] org.apache.sling.installer.provider.jcr.impl.JcrInstaller Registering resource with OSGi installer: [InstallableResource, priority=202, id=/apps/zzz/config.author.dev/com.adobe.acs.commons.packagegarbagecollector.PackageGarbageCollectionConfig, InstallableResource, priority=202, id=/apps/zzz/config.author.dev/com.day.cq.commons.impl.ExternalizerImpl, InstallableResource, priority=202, id=/apps/zzz/config.author.dev/com.adobe.acs.commons.wcm.impl.SiteMapServlet-sample, InstallableResource, priority=202, id=/apps/zzz/config.author.dev/com.zzz.filter.zzzRequestFilter]

 

any ideas anyone?

thanks

Fiona

I assume it’s not for AAEMaaCS. After code deployment do you this service being registered at Felix console?

    Thanks for replying. No it is an AMS installation, 6.5.x

    After code deployment, I see this service in "bundles" and it is active. I also see the config in configMgr as I configured it.

    thanks

      Can you change the configuration to run every 9:30 am and delete the package age of 1 day to see if the utility is working:

      <jcr:root xmlns:sling="http://sling.apache.org/jcr/sling/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" jcr:primaryType="sling:OsgiConfig" scheduler="0 30 9 ? * * *" maxAgeInDays="1" groupName="my_packages removeNotInstalledPackages="false"/>

       

      Please note that the garbage collector will not remove the currently installed version of any packages that meet the age and group name criteria. Also, it is not compatible in AEM as cloud.

        Thanks. Actually I think my problem was that I configured the package garbage collector via a OSGi config file. When i ran it manually from system/console/configMgr it worked o.k.

          In reply to Muhammed's PM,

          This is the OGSi system/console/configMgr entry for garbage collection that you can run.
