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:

If you need any info about this ‘Rule Report for all Rules’ option, please let us know.

Q&A 44: How-To Backup your Limagito File Mover Settings manually
Backup your Limagito File Mover Settings. We tried to make this as simple as possible because we understand when a system crashes you need to be up and running asap. That’s why we store all our settings default within the following single folder: ‘C:\ProgramData\LimagitoX’. The main settings file is the SQLite file called ‘LimagitoX.sqlite’.
Besides that when using the File Mover as Service you need to remember the ‘Logon As’ account which you used. Don’t forget to keep a copy of the installer. We don’t need any .net or Java version.
To be on the safe side:
– Create a backup of your settings regularly (manually or automatic)
– Remember the ‘Logon As’ account of the File Mover Service
– Keep a backup of the ‘Limagito File Mover’ installer you used
1.To create a backup of your settings open the ‘Tools’ menu and select ‘Options’.
2.Click ‘Backup Settings Database Now’.
3. Check your freshly created backup. Open the ‘Tools’ menu and select ‘Settings Directory’.
4. Now you are in the subfolder ‘Bak’ of our default ‘Settings’ folder. There should be a subfolder with the current date as folder name. In our case this is ‘20210714180640’, we use ‘YYYYMMDDHHNNSS’ as format.
5. The subfolder contains all the settings files you need in case your system would crash. Place a copy of this folder on a different (storage) system.
FYI, be sure to create a backup of any ‘non default’ files you are using together with our file mover (private key files, public key files, ..).
>> Now your backup is ready <<
6. In case of a system crash you’ll first need to run the installer on the new system. The installer will create our default Settings folder: ‘C:\ProgramData\LimagitoX’. Copy & paste all files from a previous backup folder into our default settings folder so it looks like the following screenshot again. You need to do this before you start any File Mover Application or Service.
Next, use the LimagitoXC.exe (Config Tool) to install the File Mover Service. Before you start the Service, first change the default ‘Logon As’ user of the File Mover Service to the one you were using before.

Q&A 43: Read first line of a file and move to a specific folder

Q: Read first line of a file and move to a specific folder. I have some files that sit on a server and I would like to move them off to archive. Each file has a code in the first line that tells me where the file came from. The files are regular text (.txt) files. How can I set up Limagito to move the file based on that code? If the code contains B01, move to a folder named Branch1. If the code contains B02, move to a folder named Branch2. The code will usually have more letters surrounding the B01 and B02, so I need the logic to pick up on B01 and B02 being in the code.
A: Yes this is possible. All you need a simple Pascal Script. We’ve added some screenshots to get you started.

As a start we added a new Moving Rule with WIN as Source. In the windows source folder we added some txt files. We’ll read the first line and check if certain codes exists (B01, B02, ..). Depending on the code found we’ll use a different subfolder of the Destination folder. If this subfolder doesn’t exist then we’ll create it.

1.Please open the Pascal Script option:

LimagitoX File Mover Pascal Script

2. Enable and add the following ‘On Destination’ Pascal Script:

var
  tmpLine: String;
  tmpList: TStringList;
Begin
  psExitCode:= 0;
  psVSA := 'Unknown'
  // ... add your code here
  tmpList := TStringList.Create;
  Try
    try
      tmpList.LoadFromFile(psFilePath + psFileName);
      // Check First Line
      If tmpList.Count <> 0 Then
      Begin
        tmpLine := UpperCase(tmpList.Strings[0]);
        psLogWrite(1, '', 'First Line: ' + tmpLine);
        // check
        If Pos('B01', tmpLine) <> 0 Then psVSA := 'Alabama';
        If Pos('B02', tmpLine) <> 0 Then psVSA := 'Alaska';
        If Pos('B03', tmpLine) <> 0 Then psVSA := 'Arizona';
        If Pos('B04', tmpLine) <> 0 Then psVSA := 'Arkansas';
        If Pos('B05', tmpLine) <> 0 Then psVSA := 'California';
        If Pos('B06', tmpLine) <> 0 Then psVSA := 'Colorado';
        If Pos('B07', tmpLine) <> 0 Then psVSA := 'Connecticut';
        If Pos('B08', tmpLine) <> 0 Then psVSA := 'Delaware';
        If Pos('B09', tmpLine) <> 0 Then psVSA := 'Florida';
        If Pos('B10', tmpLine) <> 0 Then psVSA := 'Georgia';
        // Set ExitCode
        psLogWrite(1, '', 'Subfolder which will be used ' + psVSA);
        psExitCode := 1;
      End
      Else
        psLogWrite(1, '', 'Error no lines in ' + psFilePath + psFileName);
    Except
      psLogWrite(1, '', 'Error when loading ' + psFilePath + psFileName);
    End;
  Finally
    tmpList.Free;
  End;
End.
