Re: Very high IOPS with AWS FSx

Thanks for your help, but we're using the 'Archive Hierarchy' component to output the files, so no safe mode unfortunately. It's every other second that the problem occurs, it doesn't appear impacted by how often it is actually scanning the folders. I suspect it is continuously monitoring the folder...

Re: Very high IOPS with AWS FSx

The data root folder is not on them, it's local to the Switch server itself. Without checking, there's probably somewhere between 5 and 10 hotfolders. Interestingly when you view the open files via computer management, the Switch server has something like 1000 files open. So once it outputs a file (...

Very high IOPS with AWS FSx

Hello, We've recently replaced our fileservers with AWS FSx drives - if you're not familiar, they're basically managed file servers, whereby you have the drive but don't need to maintain any servers. Since the introduction, we've had extremely high IOPS on any drive which has folders monitored by Sw...

Re: Remove prefix on Execute command

2008 R2.

Figured it out. Needed to make sure aws.exe was accessible by the system path and then needed a reboot.

Thanks for your help.

Re: Remove prefix on Execute command

@GabrielP This looks like best option, but I'm struggling to make it work: Error: http://i.imgur.com/vHd9Amm.png Have installed AWS CLI 32bit and 64bit, played with the path prefix to no avail, installed python too incase a problem existed there. But I still get same errors whatever I try. Any advic...

Remove prefix on Execute command

Hello, I'm using a 3rd party bit of software to upload content onto an Amazon S3 bucket, which is triggered/run within an execute command element via Switch. The problem is that the prefix is left on the filename when it gets uploaded. How can remove this prefix without outputting the file into a fo...

Re: Automating retry failed files

Hi, Yeah it happens on the last folder. There's no complicated processing occurring, hierarchy path is set > automanaged folder > output folder. The first file is already there when the second attempts to overwrite and fails. We have assumed a person, or process, has the original file open. The seco...

Automating retry failed files

Hello, We occasionally have a problem whereby a file cannot overwrite a file already present in the outfolder with the same name. Thus, it goes into 'Problem jobs. So, would ideally like a method where it automatically retries to route the file, ideally with a short delay. Or, it just routes it else...

Increment file name by 1 based on first 8 characters

I'm attempting to add 2 numbers to end of the filename proper using the 'Switch > Counter' parameters in the renaming element. For example, the following two files would be renamed as such: 20140101_eop -> 20140101_eop01 20140101_eop -> 20140101_eop02 But, a different dated file would reset the coun...

Increment file name by 1 based on first 8 characters

Thanks for the response.



Is there no way to specify the first 8 characters (segment [1-8]) for example to use as the ID?



Thanks

Increment file name by 1 based on first 8 characters

Hi, I'm trying to rename a file such that each file is incremented by one dependent on the first 8 characters. ie if I put in 20140101_matt, out comes: 20140101_matt01 20140101_matt02 etc if I put in 20140102_matt, out comes: 20140102_matt01 20140102_matt02 I'm struggling to get Switch to recognise ...

ImageMagick Conversion

Thanks for that, I've got that part working. But I really just wanted to get the VBScript part working for more complex tasks. Such as one script outputting to multiple folders. I've struggled to get it working at all, which is why I went with a basic task. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

ImageMagick Conversion

Hi there, I've been attempting to write a very simple VBScript which uses ImageMagick to convert from one format into another. Such that an JPEG arrives in a folder > Switch picks it up > converts to a PNG file. The original filename will be unknown. I would very much appreciate any help given here,...
