ADF : Clean your drs , mds folder using Script

In day to day ADF development we run in to various issue and one of the issue is sometime taskflow fragment do no show latest changes  when you run the application from jdeveloper. so you stop the embedded  weblogic server in Jdeveloper and delete the deployed application folder from DRS and MDS directory in jdeveloper.

Locate weblogic by looking in to jdeveloper running integrated weblogic.

Based on above path , my drs  and o.mds.dt is located in below folder path.

C:\Users\hasim\AppData\Roaming\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.4.37.59.23\o.j2ee\drs

C:\Users\hasim\AppData\Roaming\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.4.37.59.23\o.mds.dt\adrs

Delete specific project or all project based on your need from above folder and run your application again and you can see your latest changes in taskflow , so issue is resolved.

Write Script to perform cleaning job

You will face this issue regularly , so why don’t you write script that will perform the above deletion.

1. open your notepad and copy paste below content.

ECHO OFF
CD YOUR_DRS_DIRECTORY
rd. /S /Q .
CD YOUR_MDS_DIRECTORY
rd. /S /Q .
ECHO "All Project deleted from drs,mds folder"

Replace YOUR_DRS_DIRECTORY and YOUR_MDS_DIRECTORY with your corresponding directory and try this script with only /S option that will actually prompt you before deletion.

2.Save this file as “MyJdevClean.bat” and run this script whenever you want to clean your drs,mds folder.
