Can not find PegaRULES_Extract_Marker.txt file
Hello,
We are running on PRPC version 7.2.1. PegaRULES_Extract_Marker.txt file was present under the below location after the initial installation
/was8/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/temp/PegaNode/Pega-721/Pega-721/prweb.war
I stopped the JVM and deleted the default file. I tried changing the location for Extract Marker file to a custom path by setting a URL on WAS console and mapped all 3 resource references for url/initialiazation/explicittempdir to the custom path i created and restarted the jvm.
Now i can't find the Extract_Marker.txt file anywhere on the system. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Thank you.
Yes, the extract marker was removed in 7.2.1.
The extract marker file (PegaRULES_Extract_Marker.txt) is not created at startup, because the rule utility libraries no longer need it. If you used to use the extract marker file to clear the static content file-based cache, to look up lists, or to control starting activities with web nodes, you can delete the contents of the PegaRULES temporary directory instead.
Susan,
Thank you for the detailed explanation. ya we used to delete that file to to remove static content cache. where is this PegaRULES temp directory located at?
Thanks.
You can find Pega Temp folder location in context.xml configured in tag as:
<Environment name="url/initialization/explicittempdir" value="E:\apache-tomcat_PRPC7.2.1\temp" type="java.lang.String" />
Below are the folders that exisit in the explicit temp directory i mentioned in the environment:
LLC, PassivationData, PRGenClasses, PRGenJava,RuleMgmt,StatiContent,_temp. I do not see any PegaRules temo directory. BTW we are using WebSphere. Also i do not find the prlogging.xml file, my installation was successful. is that file supposed to be present in 7.2.1?
HI Gopi,
You can look into this discussion for prlogging.xml file location over here.

Mahesh,
i found those files inside the Prresources.jar file but i'm having a hard time externalising those files. what is the process that externalises prlogging and prconfig.xml files?
1) is it stripping them out of the EAR file and setting those url's and restart?
or
just setting the URL's?
Hi Gopi,
You need to extract the files prlogging.xml and prconfig.xml file from the APP-INF\lib\prresources.jar file and place into your own external directory then set the location of these files in the ways suggested in the attached document. Hope this will help in resolving your issue.

Mahesh
