    Q&A 28: We need to use the PGP encryption option in Limagito File Mover

    Q: We need to use the PGP encryption option that I understand that the software is capable of. Can you please send me a manual or instructions note on how to configure?

    A: Some screenshots to get you started:

    Please add WIN as Destination

    Limagito File Mover WIN as Destination

    Select the WIN Destination Directory (Setup Tab):

    Limagito File Mover Select WIN as Destination Folder

    Select Crypto Tab and Enable PGP Encryption (red markers):

    Limagito File Mover Enable PGP encryption

    Select PGP tab. In the following screenshot we used Passphrase as encryption type. Also Public Key for encryption is possible.

    Q&A 27: Check the length of a filename in LimagitoX File Mover

    Q: I want to check the length of a filename. We have a file renaming scheme that truncates the filename to a certain max length and adds a string to keep the file unique. Is it possible to add the string only when the filename gets truncated? or alternatively create a rule that only works if the filename is shorter than say 35 characters and another roule that works on files with a longer filename.
    A: Yes this is possible. We added 2 examples in this blog entry.
    1. First example will use the complete filename length and 2 rules.
    2. Second example will use the filename without extension and 1 rule with 2 destinations.

    First Example

    Please add two rules with the same source.

    We used the following include filter for the first rule:

    File Filter Setup > RegEx Tab > Include Filter

    ^[^|/\<>:?”*]{1,35}$
    Due to this RegEx file filter in the first rule it will include Filenames with length 1 .. 35 char

    LimagitoX File Mover RegEx File Filter

    We used the following include filter for the second rule:

    File Filter Setup > RegEx Tab > Include Filter

    ^[^|/\<>:?”*]{36,}$
    Due to this RegEx file filter in the second rule it will include files with length longer than 35 char (36 to ..)

    LimagitoX File Mover File Length RegEx Check

    Second Example

    We added a second example because the user had the following remark: “again thank you for your help the expression is working well, but it counts all the characters including the extension, I’m just trying to avoid bugs (some extensions are 3 char other are 4).”

    In this second example the length of the filename without file extension will be important. We’ll use one rule with 2 destinations. Depending on the length of the filename (without extension) it will use the first or second destination.

    >We added a Windows folder as Source:

    LimagitoX File Mover File Length example

    >We added two Destinations (both Windows folders). Depending on the length of the filename (without extension) it will use the first or second destination.

    LimagitoX File Mover File Length example

    > Open ‘Pascal Script’ Setup (Moving Rule Menu item):

    LimagitoX File Mover Pascal Script menu item

    >Please add the following ‘ On Destinations‘ Pascal Script. We have set the Constant ‘ctMaxLen’ to 10 in our second example (you can change this). Filenames without extension and longer than 10 will go to the second Destination (ID2). The rest of the files will go the the first Destination (ID1).

    Var
      tmpFileExt: String;
      tmpFileName: String;
      tmpLength: Integer;
    Const
      ctMaxLen = 10;  
    Begin
      psExitCode:= 0;
      // ... add your code here
      // psDestinationID	     'String' i.e. ID1, ID2,.. 
      tmpFileExt := ExtractFileExt(psFilename);
      tmpFileName := psStringReplace(psFilename, tmpFileExt, '');
      tmpLength := Length(tmpFileName);
      psLogWrite(1, '', 'Check length of ' + tmpFileName + ', Result: ' + IntToStr(tmpLength));
      // Default Do not Copy/Move
      psExitCode := -1;
      // Check first Destination, Copy/Move when equal of lower than ctMaxLen
      If (psDestinationID = 'ID1') And (tmpLength <= ctMaxLen) Then
      Begin
        psLogWrite(1, '', 'Destination ID1 will be used');
        psExitCode := 1;
      End;  
      // Check second Destination, Copy/Move when higher than ctMaxLen
      If (psDestinationID = 'ID2') And (tmpLength > ctMaxLen) Then
      Begin
        psLogWrite(1, '', 'Destination ID2 will be used');
        psExitCode := 1;
      End;  
    End.

    Q&A 26: Custom SMTP report with filename and transfer timestamp

    Q: Custom SMTP report. I am trying to set up SMTP notifications / Reports that will be sent out once a job runs. I am having the following trouble, I want the email to show the filename and timestamp of when it was transferred, I have this working but if there is multiple files it will send multiple emails, I want a single email per Rule that will one send out one email with file names and time each file was moved.
    A: We’ve added some screenshots to get you started.

    >Please open ‘Rule Events’ Setup in the ‘Moving Rule’ Menu:

    LimagitoX File Mover Rule Events

    >Select and enable ‘On Rule Begin’ event item. Within the ‘On Rule Begin’ event item:

    • Select Pascal Script tab and enable ‘Enable Pascal Script’.
    • Add the following Pascal Script:
    Begin
      // ... add your code here
      psVSA := '';
    End.

    LimagitoX File Mover Rule Events Setup

    >Select and enable ‘On Success’ event item. Within the ‘On Success’ event item:

    • Select ‘Options’ tab and enable ‘Trigger mail event after scan’.
    • Optionally you can enable ‘Enable On Success Events for LimagitoX Temporary Files’.

    • Select ‘Pascal Script’ Tab and enable ‘Enable Pascal Script’.
    • Add the following Pascal Script:
    var
      tmpList: TStringList;
      tmpTime: String;
    Begin
      // ... add your code here
      tmpList := TStringList.Create;
      Try
        // Read from psVSA
        tmpList.Text := psVSA;
        // Add To psVSA
        tmpTime := FormatDateTime('YYYY/MM/DD HH:NN:SS', Now);
        tmpList.Add(psFilePath + psFilename + ' @ ' + tmpTime);
        // Write to psVSA
        psVSA := tmpList.Text; 
      Finally
        tmpList.Free;
      End;  
    End.

    • Select ‘Email’ tab and enable ‘Enable Mail’
    • Setup SMTP server and Email itself. There is a test button available.

    • Important, in the mail body you’ll need to add:  %VSA
      • This %VSA will contain the file information added thanks to the previous Pascal Script

    • We used the gmail smtp server in this example but any other smtp server will work.

    >Result

    If you need any help with this custom SMTP report, please let us know.
