Does anyone have a proc or method to check the file age on another system when picking up files? Or whether the file is open? so the file is not picked up before its time.
It would be nice if Cloverleaf could poll and not pick up files unless they are older than 2 minutes for example.
Keith, the capability to do this is in Cloverleaf TPS. The Tcl FTP package is relatively easy to use and is included with the Cloverleaf installation. Using the package, create a proc that returns a list of valid files to pickup. The fields in the NetConfig where you would place this proc is TPS Directory Parse and possibly TPS Deletion.
Another options is to use a timer thread and a UPoC tcl proc coded using the tcl ftp package.
If you have Cloverleaf 6.0+ this capability is there. In a Fileset protocol you can get a long directory listing which will have size, last mod time, etc.. You can make your decisions based on that.
If you do not have Cloverleaf 6.0+ I would use TclCurl
So far I’ve been able to not have to go that far by doing a simple trick of having the file name with somehting like “_hide” on the end of the file name and then have it renamed without the “_hide” when the file is ready.
