A while ago we received a request from a customer to move data from lab computers. Some of those lab computers were XP and could not be upgraded. The idea was to work with scripts on the lab computers which would trigger the moving of data.
Develop a script that would be installed on each of the instrument computers. The script will be used to move the data from the lab computers to a server. Once the measurement is completed, the script will be activated by the user and the file transfer should start.
We proposed the following to the customer:
1. Create a simple command (cmd) file on each lab computer that when activated would create a ‘dummy’ file in a shared folder (i.e. transfer.txt )
Update 15/01/2022
The customer created a command file (transfer.cmd) with the following content. This command file is installed on all their lab computers and will create a dummy transfer.txt file in the C:\Data folder.

Q: Howto execute a command line tool after processing multiple files successfully. I have a rule that moves 1 or more files and starts a uses the command option After copy/move/delete success to run an executable. I could get 1 file or I could get more every day. If I receive 1 file everything is good but if I receive more than 1 file then the rule is trying to process all the files individually where I need it to run the exe after all files are moved. Is there a setting to move all the files then run the exe, I think I’ve had this issue before but I just can’t remember how I fixed it.
A: We added a new option in version v2021.12.26.0 to achieve this.
Command, On Rule End Execute Condition option (v2021.12.26.0) [+]
In your case we should not use ‘After copy/move/delete success’ because this is triggered for each file. Instead, select and enable the ‘On Rule End’ Command instead AND with ‘On Rule End’ selected do enable the ‘All files successful’ Execute Condition option in the Advanced Tab.
