Activity FTP - mget several files with dynamic names

Hi all

Hope everything goes well.

I was wondering if there was a way to configure the FTP activity to transfer several files with dynamic names to location of the source on a daily basis.

For example, my source files are set with date values (source_filename_ < MMDDYYYY > _ < hh > .txt):
source_filename_12252009_00.txt
source_filename_12252009_06.txt
source_filename_12252009_12.txt
source_filename_12252009_18.txt

I would like my process flow to do would be to download just the 4 day files based on a script ftp dynamic as follows:

Open ${Remote.Host}
${Remote.User}
${Remote.Password}
CD ${Remote.RootPath}
invites to the wide
mget?
quit smoking

In the script of DOS commands, you would have with a wildcard as mget command:
mget source_filename_%DATE:~0,2%%DATE:~2,2%%DATE:~4,4%*.txt

How should be done on the implementation of this in OWB? It requires a user-defined substitution varilable any?

FYI, I use version 10 gr 2.


See you soon.

Hello

If you are able to achieve your goal of a script of DOS commands, then you can call this script for a user defined, OWB process flow activity.
I hope this helps.

Thank you
Fati

  • Reading files with dynamic names

    Hello

    In a graphic Integrator, is it possible to set up a component of reading to read a file whose name is dynamic as a variable? Or lets say using the Clover.bat script, can I pass the file name to the curve?

    Thank you

    Yes. I suggest to create a parameter for the name of the file (for example ${filename}) and then passing to your chart when you call to run.

  • Several files with the same name.

    Cannot publish to Business Catalyst because of a fatal error, where it is said "why do we have several files with the same name?  The website and all its contents have not changed in more than a year with the exception of minor changes to the wording so unable to understand what the error is encountered. Are there not better misdiagnosed at one point less for the files in question.

    The problem is the result of a mixture of case-sensitive and case-insensitive between how files within the .oam are put into interaction with and what is written in the muse_manifest.xml file during a re - download full compared to an incremental download.

    If all .oam packages files are tiny and the original .oam were replaced in Muse with the all new tiny .oams, then you should select Upload: publish all the files in the dialog box Options. From there, forward publication of incremental changes should work without errors.

  • Return of the mistake of MUSE: why do we not have several files with the same name?

    Well - I thought I had all this worked and fixed, but I met the download error 'Why do we have several files with the same name' once again.  (I downloaded all the files several times today in order to 1) works the way it worked the last time and 2) get an OAM file that is not loading for some reason any load again and the download takes about an hour to transfer all the files manually.

    To recap:

    (1) an option "Upload only modified files" returns the 'Muse has encountered an error and closes.  Why do we have several files with the same name? "error just as before.

    (2) a full download will work but takes forever and is NOT a substitution for work changed files option.

    Please advise with possible solutions!

    Is it possible to have two .oam different files in different folders on your computer where the .oam files have the same name? I'm theorizing that there may be a bug in the treatment to ensure the folder created for a .oam placed on the server receives a unique name, particularly in the case of a partial update of the site on the server.

    Please send us the .muse file and all the files in .oam related to [email protected] along with a link to this topic for the context so we can attempt to reproduce this error and isolate the root cause. If files are larger than 20 MB, you'll need to use a service such as Adobe send & Track, Dropbox, creative cloud, WeTransfer, etc. file sharing. Thank you.

  • PDF with dynamic name

    Hi all

    I have an old billing software that generate a large number of prints, I would transform these prints in PDF with printer virtual adobe. But I would like the name of the file to be dynamic, something like date + user + counter.pdf. PDFCreator can do this work but recently give me much of a problem.

    Is it possible to make this work with adobe? If so what version I have to buy?

    Thank you

    Luca

    Hi Luca,

    It is possible to create several files with Action and the file name can be the original file from which it was created. It's something you can do with Acrobat Pro DC application.

  • How to use windows search to search the contents of a bunch of files with random names / extensions?

    How to use windows search to search the contents of a bunch of files with random names / extensions? Plain txt files say 1,000 with random name of file extensions?

    You can always search within those, but you need to add extensions to the file system so that it knows to look inside these files.  You said that you have a lot, so it's perhaps tedious.  Here's How to search within several types of files.

    One thing you could try is rather to make a copy of this file, rename all the files to the same extension (even an extension false for example something.bill) and perform your search on this band.  Just an idea.

    How to change the extensions on several files with Windows 7?

    You hear no doubt, is that your movie software will only recognize certain types of image file formats.  If this is the case, you will need to reformat format files to any format PNG is recognizable by the software.

    Rather than we guess, please identify your «film» software

    Download and install IrfanView, which is a free utility for images.  http://www.IrfanView.com/

    IrfanView has the ability to read a great many formats of image files.  It can also convert image files formats.  And even better - for you - it can do all these things on a batch of files.

    As test, after I installed IrfanView, open one of your PNG files.  Now click on file > save as, and select the 'Save as Type' to be little matter the file type of your movie software will accept.  Save the file.  Make sure your movie software can accept the new file.

    Once you are convinced that you can modify files that you have in a format that you can use, use IrfanView

    File > Batch Conversion/Rename command.  If necessary, see IrfanView help on this topic.

  • Number of folders in my files with strange names

    I have installed 11 items, imported images, now have thousands of files with strange names.

    Still for delete.

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall items, but the foders were still there.

    How bulk can remove these files, or manually uninstall so that I can remove all items?

    Screen Shot 2013-04-05 at 5.45.41 PM.png

    I seem to have solved the problem.

    I deleted "My catalog", after making a new catalog (required).

    On importing for the first time, I selected 'images' of file import.

    This time, instead, I chose all files from inside 'images' & the right file names are given, and none of the thousand of false records appear.

    Also may be a factor? I have my mac os x "photos" folder on a 2nd drive internal alias the original position of the OS disk.

  • Download error - why don't we have several files with the same name?

    Since the upgrade to 2015.1 a couple of days, I can't update my site using the feature "only changed files.  If I do I get this error, followed by the Muse stops completely.

    2016-02-12_16-23-38.png

    If I change the upload to 'all files and folders' everything is wonderful, even if it takes an hour to update the entire site rather than the usual 10 minutes.  Given that it will only grow of it is I hope it is on the radar of the Adobe + 400 current pages team.  What should I do?

    Well, I got the error to stop on my own.  I downloaded several times with a full scale 'all files' downloading and finally opened the site on my iMac to perform the update it.  Same configuration, the same file, even software - after uploading each file one last time on the other machine I can now do a upload "only changed files" to be.

  • FTP delete several files

    I use the attached VI "programmatic FTP file transfer.vi" to move the log files to a machine to my local computer using FTP linux. (it works fine)

    Once the transfer is complete, I want to delete the files from my linux machine,

    I'm using labview in 2014.

    I do not see a multiple delete labview vi FTP

    I already have a list of the files and paths I want to remove a table/cluster.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    I think you have answered your own question, in that it must filter the file listing the files with a .log extension. This can be done using the model Match VI string in the file selection loop.

    If you specify a regular expression of the newspaper, or more precisely \.log$ (which looks like for .log at the end of a string), it will return a shift of the matched string. If there is no match, it returns-1. In order to check if the corresponding offset is greater than or equal to zero (ie. There is a .log extension) and then logically AND with file type checking.

  • Several files extracted Xml name

    Hi, I make a change in our DMS project that has the input XML to extract file.

    We used this guideline for configuring a flat file with all entry names XMLs.

    https://support.Oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show & type = not & DOCTYPE = HOWTO & ID = 871446.1

    the configuration works perfectly. Our flat file list of files and reads them OK.

    My question comes here, how can I get the NAME of THE XML FILE which is extracted at the present time? I can get the input file, but it's the flat file that contains all the names, not the XML itself.

    Hi Andres,

    I see two options off the top of my head:
    (1) includes the name of the XML file in the XML - I know, it's a simple solution, but sometimes they are the best :)
    (2) map the name to extract XML in a GVM - I'm not exactly sure that this would work, but it might be possible. I'll see if I can find.
