Q&A 40: Is it possible to create a file timestamp monitor job
Q: Is it possible to create a file timestamp monitor job. I mean, is there a way to setup a job that states that if there has not been a file with a timestamp of less than say 2 hours to send an alarm?

A: Yes this is possible. We added some screenshots to get you started.

Be sure the Function is set to ‘Copy Files’ (which is default).

Please add the directory you want to monitor as WIN Source. In our example we’ll use ‘C:\Test\In\’.

We are going to monitor .pdf files in this example so we added *.pdf as Filename Include Filter.

Our goal is to check if there are files available younger than 2 hours:

As Destination we added a simple Pascal Script to give us some information:

Begin psExitCode:= 1; // ... add your code here psLogWrite(1, '', 'File Found: ' + psFilePath + psFileName); End.

Next step is to setup the ‘On No File Found’ Rule Event:

Enable ‘On No File Found’ Rule Event

Enable Mail

Setup Mail Message

Setup Common SMTP (Server which will send the Mail Message)

Mail Message Setup

Setup Common SMTP (Server which will send the Mail Message). We are using the Google SMTP to send the Mail Message.

We added a Pascal Script which will add information in the log when the event is triggered.

Begin // ... add your code here psLogWrite(1, '', 'We did not find any file younger than 2 hours'); End.

If you don’t want to send the email event ‘On No File Found’ with each scan then please enable ‘Error event Memory’ in the Options Tab. When this option is enable AND ‘No File Was Found’ then we’ll send the email only once. The ‘Error Event Memory’ will reset itself when a file was found again.

RunTime Log Result when no file younger than 2 hours was found:

Email Result when no file younger than 2 hours was found:

Q&A 39: Is it possible to setup a wildcard config for source directories?

Q: I was curious if it is possible to setup a wildcard config for source directories. In this example, folders with media are created every January 1st. I like the source path to be something like \\MyServer\MyShare\media\202* , essentially only looking for folders with a year of 2020 or greater.

A: Yes this is possible. Could you please try:

– Setup WIN as Source folder. Directory: \\MyServer\MyShare\media\

(ignore the red text, it’s just an example)

– Add the following Directory Filter Setup:

We’ll exclude files in the base folder (\\MyServer\MyShare\media\)

We added a Subdirectory Include Name Filter:

Important, we’ll also exclude subfolders of invalid Subdirectories.

Feedback user: Thank you. This seems to work.

If you need any help with this ‘wildcard config for source directories’ request, please let us know.

Q&A 38: I would like to log the create date of the file being moved

Q: I would like to log the create date of the file being moved. Can you please advise if there is a way filemover can be setup to log the create date of the file being moved. As of now we don’t see this info in the log file. Is there a setting in the app that we can tweak to control what all is logged in the log file?
A: We added some extra Pascal Script functions in version v2020.12.30.0 to achieve this.

Please open the Pascal Script option of your Rule:

Limagito File Mover Pascal Script option

Enable and Add the following ‘On Destination’ Pascal Script:

Var
  tmpDateTime: TDateTime;
  tmpDateStr: String;
Begin
  psExitCode:= 1;
  
  // Creation Time
  tmpDateTime := psGetCreationTime(psFilePath + psFileName);
  tmpDateStr := FormatDateTime('YYYY-MM-DD HH:NN:SS', tmpDateTime);
  psLogWrite(1, '', 'Creation Time of ' + psFilePath + psFileName + ': ' + tmpDateStr);
  
  // Creation Time Utc
  tmpDateTime := psGetCreationTimeUtc(psFilePath + psFileName);
  tmpDateStr := FormatDateTime('YYYY-MM-DD HH:NN:SS', tmpDateTime);
  psLogWrite(1, '', 'Creation Time Utc of ' + psFilePath + psFileName + ': ' + tmpDateStr);
  
  // Last Access Time
  tmpDateTime := psGetLastAccessTime(psFilePath + psFileName);
  tmpDateStr := FormatDateTime('YYYY-MM-DD HH:NN:SS', tmpDateTime);
  psLogWrite(1, '', 'Last Access Time of ' + psFilePath + psFileName + ': ' + tmpDateStr);
  
  // Last Access Time Utc
  tmpDateTime := psGetLastAccessTimeUtc(psFilePath + psFileName);
  tmpDateStr := FormatDateTime('YYYY-MM-DD HH:NN:SS', tmpDateTime);
  psLogWrite(1, '', 'Last Access Utc Time of ' + psFilePath + psFileName + ': ' + tmpDateStr);
  
  // Last Write Time
  tmpDateTime := psGetLastWriteTime(psFilePath + psFileName);
  tmpDateStr := FormatDateTime('YYYY-MM-DD HH:NN:SS', tmpDateTime);
  psLogWrite(1, '', 'Last Write Time of ' + psFilePath + psFileName + ': ' + tmpDateStr);
  
  // Last Write Time Utc
  tmpDateTime := psGetLastWriteTimeUtc(psFilePath + psFileName);
  tmpDateStr := FormatDateTime('YYYY-MM-DD HH:NN:SS', tmpDateTime);
  psLogWrite(1, '', 'Last Write Utc Time of ' + psFilePath + psFileName + ': ' + tmpDateStr);
End.

Limagito File Mover Pascal Script Get Creation Time

RunTime Log Result:

Limagito File Mover RunTime log

In the example we added ‘Creation Time (Utc)’, ‘Last Access Time (Utc)’ and ‘Last Write Time (Utc)’. You can, of course, remove the parts you do not need from the Pascal Script.

If you need any help with this ‘log the create date’ request, please let us know.
