Windows Fileset local read file, rename to new folder

[Donna Bailey]

I am working on an interface where I need to take a pdf file and rename it..don’t need to read the file, just pull in the filename.  I pull the name apart and create a new filename for the PDF to go to Meditech.  

I have the following problem: I am trying to do a copy of the file and it’s not working cause I believe the fileset-local removes it before my copy can happen

I know of a work-around, to put copy of file to another folder.  Does anyone have any other suggestions?  Did I mention this is Windows too….

Thanks,

Donna

Why are you reading via Fileset/Local and then try to copy?

Just run it through  the engine and output to a different file.

Also if you define a deletion proc for our Fileset/Local interface you can write out a copy there.

Need to know more

Donna, the fileset protocols do delete the files by default. You can control the files that are processed and the files that are deleted using TPS procs.

The procs called in these TPS fields work on a list of files (not message content).

You can add code to these procs to manipulate the files manually, such as renaming them or moving them.

Search the forum for examples of these procs and how they work.

Max, thank you for the input…so right now my copy is happening on the route..I need to put in on the tps inbound instead?

Charlie, I have to copy to a unc path…couldn’t get outbound thread to do that??

Thank you,

Donna

Most likely you’ll need to put the copy in the Fileset-local TPS proc (in the protocol not inbound TPS).

It seems to me you do not need to route the file, just copy it

First, it could be easily done outside of Cloverleaf with the Windows scheduler

If you want to use Cloverleaf just use Fileset/Local with a timer.  Have it run periodically and when file is there you could read it in and then write with a different name then delete original.  Be sure and use binary mode.

You can also simply copy using the Tcl file copy command and then delete.  This is the better option

If you still want to use Fileset/Local and read into the engine you will have to use a file delete proc under the Fileset/Locol protocol as Max said

I hope this helps

Thank You all!!
