Uploading file names that will change

devans

Hello,

We are looking to create an upload where the file name will change at the beginning every time.  Example ddmmyyyyEmployeeFile.csv . Is it possible to set up the upload in this format so we don't have to change what it is looking for each time?

Thank you!

A bug in v16.2.0.328 assumes that "Remote File or Folder" must be a Folder, at-least where "Local File or Folder" is a wildcard "C:\...\*". Thus you cannot substitute Scheduler's System Variables here. This may not apply to a static filename?

Until SolarWinds acknowledge and fix this bug, then my work-around was a routine Script for a custom watched Folder that moves files into Voyager's watched folder whilst renaming them. Be aware of User Permissions. I used VBScript, but you could use a Batch file:

@echo off

set SOURCE_PATH=D:\Folder1

set TARGET_PATH=D:\Folder2

for %%F in ("%SOURCE_PATH%\*") do call :1 "%%F"

goto :EOF

:1

set TAG=20%DATE:~-2%%DATE:~3,2%%DATE:~0,2%

set TARGET_FILE=%TARGET_PATH%\%TAG%%~nx1

::: If locked then Move aborts

if not exist "%TARGET_FILE%" move "%~1" "%TARGET_FILE%"
