OS Command – Alternative

As an alternative. to the Cleo Clarify Delete Adapter, we implemented the Clarify OS Command BPS Task (below)

In the task we will call the Linux command: rm

Cleo Clarify business process OS Command Task

The command will consist of: rm /cst/data/clarify/tradingPartner/ABC/outbox/ SalesData.csv
