Q: Rules pulling files are changing the modify date. Correct, this is FTP as the source. The file(s) we’re picking up have modification dates on when they were last modified on the source’s side. However, after LimagitoX runs, it updates the modification date in Windows to whenever the rule runs. So it shows all files were updated since last time the job ran.
For example, I ran the job at 9:17am on 12/23/20 and it shows that the file that is dated 05/07/20 (from the source) was last modified right when the job ran, but in reality it wasn’t modified by either party since 5/07/20.
A: Solution, in your Source FTP (or SFTP) setup, please enable ‘Adjust File Times’ option. You can find this in the ‘Common Tab’.

Q: Monitor disabled rules. Our company purchased Limagito products and used it for several years, and I am very happy to have such a useful product. I want to ask a technical question. Several of our colleagues manage all the built rules together, but sometimes we accidentally turn it off and forget to turn it on. I would like to ask if there is any way to scan all RULES in limagito and find that its status is “Disable”, so we can create a job to monitor this and send a mail to notify us. Looking forward to your help, and wish you all good health.
A: In version v2020.12.6.0 we added Pascal Script as Source. This new option makes it possible for us to achieve your request. Let’s get started.
Add the following Pascal Script (Copy / Paste):
Var tmpInfo: String; tmpList: TStringList; Const ctFileName = 'Disabled_Rules.txt'; Begin // Init Var psClearSourceFiles; // Clear SourceFiles Listing psExitCode:= 1; // We'll use a TStringList that we'll fill with Disabled Rules Data tmpList := TStringList.Create; Try Try // Function psGetDisabledRuleList(Const aIncGroupname, // aIncRuleName, aIncRuleID: Boolean; Const aDelimiter, aQuoteChar: Char): String; // Request for All Disabled Rules using Tab(#9) as Delimiter // Include Groupname, RuleName and RuleID tmpInfo := psGetDisabledRuleList(True, True, True, #9, #0); If tmpInfo <> '' Then Begin // We'll use psVSA paramter in our email setup later psVSA := tmpInfo // Add to List tmpList.add(tmpInfo); // Save List To File tmpList.SaveToFile(psRuleTempPath + ctFileName); // Add To SourceFiles List psAddToSourceFiles(psRuleTempPath + ctFileName); End; Except psLogWrite(1, '', 'Save File ' + psRuleTempPath + ctFileName + ' Exception'); End; Finally tmpList.Free; End; End.

First le me start by stating how much we enjoy working with your software in past months, Setting it up and configuring the rules was super easy and intuitive.
We had some issue with tracking rules that were disabled by mistake. After browsing your Q&A I’ve found ‘Q&A 33: Can we create a job to monitor disabled rules’
Which works great, our only remaining issues is that we have a lot of disabled test rule, the fill the report. Is there a way to generate the same report but to exclude certain rules from it?
Var iList: Integer; tmpEntry, tmpInfo: String; tmpList: TStringList; Const ctExclude = 'test'; ctFileName = 'Disabled_Rules.txt'; Begin // Init Var psClearSourceFiles; // Clear SourceFiles Listing psExitCode:= 1; // We'll use a TStringList that we'll fill with Disabled Rules Data tmpList := TStringList.Create; Try Try // Function psGetDisabledRuleList(Const aIncGroupname, // aIncRuleName, aIncRuleID: Boolean; Const aDelimiter, aQuoteChar: Char): String; // Request for All Disabled Rules using Tab(#9) as Delimiter // Include Groupname, RuleName and RuleID tmpInfo := psGetDisabledRuleList(True, True, True, #9, #0); If tmpInfo <> '' Then Begin // Add to List tmpList.Text := tmpInfo; // Filter For iList := (tmpList.Count-1) Downto 0 Do Begin tmpEntry := tmpList.Strings[iList]; If Pos(AnsiLowerCase(ctExclude), AnsiLowerCase(tmpEntry)) <> 0 Then tmpList.Delete(iList); End; // We'll use psVSA paramter in our email setup later psVSA := tmpList.Text; // Add to List tmpList.add(tmpInfo); // Save List To File tmpList.SaveToFile(psRuleTempPath + ctFileName); // Add To SourceFiles List psAddToSourceFiles(psRuleTempPath + ctFileName); End; Except psLogWrite(1, '', 'Save File ' + psRuleTempPath + ctFileName + ' Exception'); End; Finally tmpList.Free; End; End.

It also possible to request all Enabled Rules. In this case you need to replace
tmpInfo := psGetDisabledRuleList(True, True, True, #9, #0);
by
tmpInfo := psGetEnabledRuleList(True, True, True, #9, #0);
We added %VSA parameter which also contains the Disabled Rule(s). Option ‘Include Source File as Attachment’ is also enabled so the text file containing the Disabled Rule information will be attached to the email.
If you need any help with this ‘job to monitor disabled rules ’, please let us know.
