Hi,
Can anyone let me know how to delete the old indicator files while scheduling file events in XI.
We used to do this in 5.1 version where we will find an option to do so.
Thanks,

In short, you have to provide your own mechanism. In a way, it makes sense. Some other process created the file, so why should BusObj be responsible for removing it? It would seem to be a simple feature to add, and is a step backward from BCA, but so be it.
You could work within the BusObj platform by using a program object. The program object could be a simple .bat file that removes the trigger. Schedule the program object so that it is triggered by the report execution, and you can accomplish the same thing.
The file event is a bit odd in a way. The event server “watches” for the file. It has to detect the ABSENCE of the file first, before it starts looking for another trigger file. To me, changing the behavior so that it would recognize a change in the date / time stamp would be easy to make, and it would eliminate the need to delete the trigger file in the first place. I’m guessing I’ve missed something here though.
