Re: Pack / Unpack Job Elements failing?

I can try to pack a sample job for you freddyp - let me work on that. I had this issue also and it was related to the dataset type with the job since it's passed via XML. Also if there is an invalid character in the dataset it will also fail. We had to use an older version of the pack/unpack. Intere...

Re: Pack / Unpack Job Elements failing?

After further testing, it seems the issue is the the Unpack Job element in SWITCH 2022 Fall is not unzipping/unarchiving the incoming Packed Job. I placed an Unarchive element after the Unpack Job element, but this also failed to Unarchive/Unzip the package. I then placed a Uncompress(legacy" e...

For the current server, we have a few flows that send and receive files using locations on our network so we have use the Pack and Unpack Job elements for quite a few years with good success. On the workflow sendi...

AWS S3 Dowload based on Trigger/Incoming File

I'm working on a workflow and I need to download files in a specific folder within an AWS bucket based on a value in an incoming trigger file. The file gives the folder name that I need to download.

SWITCH File Size Download Limit

I have numerous flows on a few SWITCH servers that have sftp downloads and when a file is 1GB or larger, the file sits on the ftp site indefinitely and never downloads within SWITCH. Similarly, I have another flow that has http request elements to download files - these also work great until a file ...

Re: .DOCX to .TXT in Workflow

I wasn't even aware that was an option to be honest - I'll have to dig into that. We don't' have Word installed on the server where we're running SWITCH, but we can certainly take care of that. Thank you!

.DOCX to .TXT in Workflow

I'm looking to replace a PowerShell script that takes a .docx file as an input and converts it to a .txt as an output. I've researched some methods online, but I've not found a clean solution - certainly not one that made much sense to me. Is there a way to do this using a script within SWITCH or by...

Hello all, I'm looking into creating a workflow that receives SNS notifications from Amazon and then downloads a file from an S3 bucket based on the link in the notification. I'm new to this, so I'm honestly not sure what those SNS notifications even look like nor how they're delivered. I know SWITC...

PitStop Server 2018 with SWITCH 17 ???

I wanted to check compatibility issues with running PitStop Server 2018 on SWITCH version 17. I believe that PitStop Server 2019 requires SWITCH 2019, but we are hoping to stay with SWITCH 17 for the moment, but upgrade to PitStop Server 2018. Can anyone confirm if this will work?
