I want to talk about one interesting tool in the development of which I participated.
Implemented in the form of processing, which can find files:
- * .1CD - Database files 8.x
- * .cf - Configuration 8.x upload files
- * .dt - Database Upload Files 8.x
- * .zip - Archives that contain the files listed above
As a result, the user in a convenient form displays information, in many cases sufficient, to solve the problem specified in the header.
The main advantage is the possibility "
on the fly " (without the need to download the found file and
without authorization information ) to determine the configuration used in it and the number of missed releases.

Problem
As in many organizations, we work in terminal mode. Over the years, the server has accumulated more than 600 gigabytes of all kinds of copies of our and client databases, configuration uploads, archives, which are simply forgotten and are dead weight.
Analyzing all this data in the manual mode is quite a boring task.
It was necessary to clean all this garbage and at the same time not to remove anything extra.
Decision
To solve this problem, the
“Automator” configuration included processing capable of giving the user important information for making a decision in a convenient way:
- Path to the found file
- Date Last Modified
- The size
- Used configuration and release
- Number of missed releases

awa for the utility that is able to directly extract information from
1CD and
cf files, thanks to it this functionality has become possible.
