Rule with fixed scheduled day don’t start
Rule with fixed scheduled day don’t start
Q: We have a problem con this Rule. 11 day of every month. Don’ t start. If I run it by hand it starts and move the files perfectly. What am I doing wrong?
A: Could you please check your file filter setup. If stabilize file option is enabled, please disable it. Feedback would be appreciated.
Our advice is not to use the ‘Stabilized File Check’ option with our ‘Windows as Source’ option. Instead use ‘Exclude Files in Use’.
Do not enable ‘Exclude Files locked By Other Moving Rules’ if you are not sure what this option does.
The ‘Stabilized File Check’ can be used with other Source options (like FTP, SFTP, ..). Remember that it needs at least two scans (triggers) to get a file moved/copied/deleted. The reason is that during the first scan, the system checks the file size and then at the next scan (second trigger), it compares the current file size with the previous measurement. If the sizes match, the file will be handled. If not, a third scan is needed, and so on.
Feedback customer:
Yes, with stabilize file disabled, now is working.
If you need any help with this option, please let us know.

Having some CPU performance issues running the file mover service
Q: Im having some CPU performance issues running the file mover service on windows server 8cpu 32g ram in Azure. Would you be able to offer any advice on optimising the file mover rules? I tried the prefix filter as you told me and it definitely improved the speed that the rules execute but I found it still maxed out all CPUs while running (i also increased to 16cpu as a test), i tried with affinity set to allow only 3 CPU and timing is fine as well as not affecting the VM running. However that wont persist after reboot so i need to run a script or find some other solution have you come across this before? any way to set max cpu core in the application?
A: You don’t need paid support as long as you license is active. In version v2025.4.10.0 we added the following option: ‘Process Affinity’. This way you can limit the amount of cores our engine will use.
In the following example the system has 4 cores (0,1,2,3) and the engine is limited to use core 0 and 1 ( 0,1 )
If you need any help with this “CPU performance issues” option, please let us know.

Q&A 48: Get an actual Rule Report for all Rules we currently have
Q: I have been asked the second time now if it is possible that I got out an actual Rule Report for all Rules we currently have in Limagito. It`s just all the reporting and documentation obligations our company has to follow. Of course it would be possible to print that on a per Rule-Basis. It would be great if there is an option to generate all Rule-Reports for all Rules at once
A: Yes this is possible using some Pascal Script. We added some screenshots to get you started.
1. Add the following Pascal Script as Source (do not forget to adjust the ctDestPath). Our Report output path will be C:\Test\Reports\.
Var tmpInfo: String; Const ctDestPath = 'C:\Test\Reports\'; Begin psExitCode:= 1; // ... add your code here tmpInfo := psSaveRuleReportsAsHTML(ctDestPath); psLogWrite(1, '', tmpInfo); End.
2. In this example we disabled the scan timers because we will trigger the rule manually:
3. No Destinations are needed:
4. We enabled the Rule and clicked the trigger button (small green arrow on he right of the enable/status button):
5. Result in the output folder, all the rule reports are saved as html:
#Filetransfer
If you need any info about this ‘Rule Report for all Rules’ option, please let us know.
