    Removing old rules that are no longer in use

    Q: A number of the rules are disabled. We will work on removing old rules that are no longer in use and get the number closer to 400. Is there a way to sort or filter by enabled/disabled rules?

    A: In Limagito File Mover version v2025.6.30 we added the following options:

    • Hide Enabled Rules
      • Will remove all Enabled Rules from the Rule Treeview
    • Hide Disabled Rules
      • Will remove all Disabled Rules from the Rule Treeview

    With the Refresh Rules you can go back to the original state.

    Limagito File Mover practical rule limit

    Q: Practical rule limit question. We are working with a limagito server that is hosting 600+ rules. We have it running via a service and note that shutting down the service we get an error that it is having problems shutting down. Also start up takes 5-10 minutes on restart of service or reboot of system. Is there a practical limit to a server? Is there a way to tell where it is in the start up process or to delay rules from running until the service is up and running (assumption is that it is running rules as the service turns on and causing a lag?)

    A: Please check: Q&A-need-more-details-on-limagitox-file-mover-application/

    2. How many interfaces/rules can be created in Limagito? is there any limitation? How many threads/Rules can be executed in parallel/Simultanious?

    Our advice is to use a maximum of 400 rules per instance of our File Mover. If you need more, please install a second instance of our file mover.

    You can check the LimagitoXS.log file under C:\ProgramData\LimagitoX\Log, it will show you the status during start and stop. Maybe you can find out which Rule(s) are causing the delay.

    However, it would be a good idea to lower the amount of Rules for this instance to 400 by installing a second instance on the same server of a using a second (virtual) server.

    FYI: We did a test here:

    • Startup of LimagitoX File Mover installed as a Service  running 200 Rules takes +/- 25 seconds.

    Question regarding file names and special characters

    Q: Question regarding file names and special characters. I am currently working on my project moving files between our Windows fileshare and a now Windows destination via SFTP.  So far so good, but when I have a file as a source in our Windows fileshare that has special characters like ä, ö, ü, the transmission of the files get an error stating that the host filesystem does not allow such characters as file names.

    Is there any way to move the files and rename the file names during the move ? e.g. if the file contains such a special character, it should be renamed like this

    ä -> ae

    ü -> ue

    ö-> oe

    Feedback Customer: “Disgregard my email I found it”

    A: The customer used the file rename option in their SFTP Destination setup to replace ä with ae, ü with ue and ö with oe.
