    Rule runtime log doesn’t go back far enough

    Q: We had an issue with the system receiving the file Limagito moves, I want to check the Limagito logs but the rule runtime log doesn’t go back far enough. Are the runtime logs written out to a permanent log somewhere? Do we have to enable logging in anyway?

    A: The RunTime log was not created for this. It is just a ‘short’ visual log about what the File Mover is doing at the moment you use the Remote Tool.

    What you need is our ‘Logging to File’ option (History logging). Please check:
    limagito file mover logging
    – Rule File Log (aka History Log):
    limagito file mover logging setup - Rule runtime log
    Feedback user: Thank You, this is just what I was looking for.

    #mft #filetransfer #filemanagement

    If you need any info about this ‘Rule runtime log’ question, please let us know.

    Best regards,

    How to upload large files to Dropbox using Limagito File Mover

    Uploading large files to Dropbox

    limagito filemover dropbox

    The default Dropbox upload API endpoint allows us to upload files up to 150MB. In version v2023.7.31.0 we optimized our code to automatically switch to a another API endpoint which allows us to upload larger files. This is all done automatically.

    When ‘Large File Mode’ is used (files > 150MB):

    • We will upload the file in blocks of 32MB
    • For each of these 32MB blocks, we will calculate and send the SHA-256 hash code
      • This hash code will be used by Dropbox to check if the received block is OK.
      • If something goes wrong during the upload of a block, we’ll retry this block up to 3 times
    • At the end we’ll receive the total hash of the uploaded file from Dropbox which we’ll compare to be 100% sure

    #dropbox #mft #filetransfer #filemanagement

    If you need any info about this new ‘Dropbox as Source and Destination’ option, please let us know.
