Last Modified: 12/22/2021

Environment

McAfee Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Endpoint - all supported versions

For supported environments, see KB68147 - Supported platforms for Data Loss Prevention Endpoint.

Problem

The ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) Server Task Log reports "FAILED" in DLP purge history for Operational and Incidents Events.

The task log shows:

Failed to move file

The "Orion" log shows:

ERROR [scheduler-TaskQueueEngine-thread-46] command.EvidencePurgingHelper - Failed to move/delete original file

And

java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException

Cause

This issue can occur if you are unable to move the file, or if the file does not exist in the specified location.

Solution

If there are no other failure messages related to the message below in the "Task" or "Orion" log, you can safely ignore the error:

The ePO task was unable to move the evidence file. Because the associated incident is now deleted, this attempt will not be repeated.
