Q: How to add a no file edited trigger

• I have 4 WIN sources, each containing 7 XML files.
• These files can be edited or not every x minutes.

• I need an email to be sent if the last write time of all the files exceeds 55 minutes.
  • In summary, if no files have been edited for over 55 minutes.

A: Yes this is possible, please have a look at the following setup:

• We used WIN as Source and added 4 local folders:

• Source Setup Result:

• Next, Moving Rule menu item > “Rule Events”

• Select and enable “On Rule Begin” > Pascal Script setup:
  • Check “Enable Pascal Script”
  • Add the Script: link

• Select and enable “On Rule End” > Email Setup

• Use a valid email address for both the “From” and “To” fields
• Set Subject
• Add information in the message Body (optional)

• Keep “On Rule End” selected > Pascal Script Setup:
  • Check “Enable Pascal Script”
  • Add the Script: link

• Keep “On Rule End” selected > Options Setup:
  • Enable “Use Pascal Script as Event Precondition”

• File Filter Setup > Filename Include Filter: we are only looking for .xml files

• File Filter Setup > File Date > Younger Than 55 minutes

• Function Setup:
  • Set Function to Copy
    • We are not really going to “copy” files, we just want to leave the files at the WIN source(s)

• Destination Setup:
  • Add PScript as Destination, script: link
    • This script increase the Variable Integer A each time when a file younger than 55 minutes is found

• Enable and Execute Rule

• RunTime Log > Valid file(s) available

• RunTime Log > No valid file avaible > Do Send Email
