Moving file to multiple destinations
We got the following question recently:
hello, i am currently running 10.206.20.0. i have a rule that move file to an external ftp destination and also a unc path. if the ftp destination is not available the rule fails to move the file to it but keeps trying to send to the unc path. these means that the same file is sent many times to the unc destination. this keeps happening until the ftp site come back. is there a way to configure the rule to stop this behaviour? thanks robert
Our reply: Please enable ‘Destination Memory’ in your Function Setup.
This option will solve the issue because our file mover will remember which destination failed and will not move the file to the destination(s) that was(were) successful.

The feedback afterwards from robert was even better.
thanks very much, another option i didn’t know about. :-}
love the product

Feature Idea – Destination Templates
A while ago we got the following request
“First – being able to create destinations that you can pick when you are setting-up jobs would be helpful. Primarily, FTP, SFTP, FTPS. For instance if I want to have 5 separate jobs that need the same FTP information and credentials. I would like to be able to save connection information to use it when creating the FTP, SFTP, destination.”
We’ve started adding this option to our File Mover. In version v11.8.29.0 it’s possible to export a destination to a template file.
After Export you can change the default export template filename. The screenshot below is an export using the default template path and filename.
The content is quite readable.
Our next step is to add the import option.
…
Import option was added in version 11.8.30.0

Considering Limagito as a replacement
Hi,
We’re considering Limagito to replace our current solution. A few questions:
We feed incoming filenames to a PERL script, which outputs the replacement filenames for the files at their destination. How could we accomplish this in Limagito?
..
Thanx. Mark.
Until now this wasn’t possible so we had to add this. To accomplish this we added some extra features to the Command option (v11.8.27.0).
Redirect Command Output to PS String Var A (%VSA)
Line Number to Redirecy to PS String Var A (%VSA).
Both options are used to redirect the command output to the Ps string Var A (%VSA) which can be used later in the renaming of the destination filename. Setting the Line Number to 1 will take the first line of the command output. Setting it to 0 will take all available lines of the command output.
The Perl script (or any other type of script) is triggered in the ‘Before Move/Copy/Delete’ command using the source filename (%SFN) as argument.
Then we will use this string Var A in the file renaming option of your destination.
The destination filename will be the output result of the script triggered in the Command option.
