hi team, we are testing GD.CN and we have a question regarding PDF download. How long is the retention on those PDF reports, when are they deleted from tmp?

GD.CN export functionality should be configured with S3 buckets as storage (guide). If it’s not configured with S3, the PDFs are stored directly to

export-controller

microservice under default folder

/tmp/exports

configurable in helm chart

values.yaml

. No PDFs are deleted automatically from S3 neither local containers folder. It’s up to S3 administrator to set appropriate bucket lifecycle rules. Local containers folder gets deleted with

export-controller

POD restart. Notes: • in case of local folder (default behavior) it’s not ensured you will get the results if you have more than 1 replica of export-controller therefore S3 bucket configuration is recommended (this info is going to be added to existing documentation soon) • retrieval of finished exports is currently limited to 60min through the public API - after this period it’s not possible to retrieve it anymore and a new export request has to be done

I suppose that the question is how long are these files kept in /tmp if S3 is not used. If I am right, what is the answer, @Robert Moucha?

yes, that is my question
