Deleting Old Scheduled Report Ouptuts Using the Jaspersoft REST API

Image
I get this request quite a bit - how do I clean up old artifacts from the Jaspersoft repository? Old artifacts are typically reports that are scheduled and then saved into the repository. I explain this in a short video: Here are some specifics about the Talend/Jaspersoft ETL job used: tHttpRequest - Does a GET to the URI "http://localhost:8080/jasperserver-pro/rest_v2/resources?recursive=true&type=file&folderUri=/public/ScheduledReports" and writes it to an XML file. API reference- see "Searching the Repository" tFileInputXML - Reads the XML response from file (written by tHttpRequest) tFilterRow - Filters the XML file on the field "creationDate" with the value: TalendDate.parseDate("yyyy-MM-dd", "2014-03-04") tFlowToIterate - takes each request and iterates through them tREST - For each file (URI) we run the DELETE command: "http://localhost:8080/jasperserver-pro/rest_v2/resources" + ((String)globalMap.
