File Transfer - Write transferred file names to variable

[ScottSilvester606020]

Hi there,

 

I want to do a file transfer (using the file transfer object) and write the filenames that were successfully transferred to a variable.

What's the best way of achieving this?

I have attempted doing a post process prep_process_report, however the prep_process_report is failing, more than likely due to this issue: PREP_PROCESS_REPORT function not working in file transfer object .  Even if this was working, I'm struggling to get the script working to get just the filenames (I've tested using a windows object)

 

Does anyone have a good way of achieving this? I'd be happy with a script for prep_process_report looking at a command prompt DIR.

 

Thanks,

Scott

Hi

 

You can use script command GET_STATISTIC_DETAIL with parameter DST_FILE_NAME.

This only works if you use a single filetransfer, no wildcards and returns only the selected file, not if it was successful or not !!

 

Otherwise its a lot of scripting with string-functions to get the data out of the report (PRO: you only get the successfully transferred filenames)

 

another idea: do a prep_process_filename with the selection of the JOBF object - its not 100% safe if the JOBF runs longer...

 

last Idea: do you insist in a JOBF?

If not, you can create a script or job, do a prep_process_filename in it and start an OS job for every file-move(or copy) - in Post process of your file move job you can update the variable objct.

Thanks Wolfgang.

I'm simply copying all folder contents now, so no need for the individual filenames anymore.

Thanks for your answer, I will be sure to use some of your answer in future scripts.
