Hi Yemi, I think there are three steps to remove a recording.
The first is to remove it from solr so that other people can't watch it
anymore. This is done with the search REST endpoints at:
localhost:8080/docs.html?path=/search
It is called DELETE /{id}. The easiest way to get the necessary id is to play
the recording and the url will be something like
http://localhost:8080/engage/ui/watch.html?id=47314 where 47314 is the id you
need to remove it.
The next is to get rid of the workflow from the system. Its best to copy the
workflow id and the mediapackage id before you delete it. If you inspect the
workflow (click on the little gear beside the status of the recording in the
Status column). The workflow id is the one on the Workflow Instance tab
(usually a number). Then click on the Mediapackage tab and mark down this id
too. I then remove the workflow by going to:
http://localhost:8080/docs.html?path=/workflow
Use the POST /stop endpoint. Just put the workflow id in and it should
disappear from the GUI.
The final step is to remove the data from the hard drive. I wrote a tiny shell
script where I put in the workflow id and the mediapackage id and it clears it
off the drive (its attached). You can find the locations you need to clear out
with find /location/of/data/dir -name "workflowid" and find
/location/of/data/dir -name "mediapackageid" and changing the shell script to
delete the right locations.
If someone else has a better way of accomplishing this I would be up for
documenting this or that approach.
Cheers,
Adam
