Hi

I was just wondering if someone could help me. We have some media items which are filling up the database size rapidly. I was just wondering would it be possible to create an Oracle Directory with a file share to export/remove all Media Images from the database? I was thinking this could be some type of Background job that could run nightly. Would this be possible? 

Thanks

This should certainly be possible to do using custom events and/or background jobs. You need to learn how to read a BLOB (the media content) and write that to the directory, perhaps using UTL_FILE. You should be able to search the internet to find the pieces you need.

There is also a built-in media archiving feature you could use, but it requires an Azure Storage account. Also, it will be replaced with proper Azure Storage support for media items in IFS Cloud 21R2.
