Re: Do you understand what I mean?

It's not a new feature, but I assume you mean the feature of Hold job element where you can define in its outgoing connection a "Folder constraint" which means that you can specify that the following folder can have only e.g. 3 jobs at a time: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/d80n0qa9xr36nk0...

Re: job.getName issue

it's only job.getName(false) that's needed. "includeExtension = true" is only the way the documentation tells us what the value there means :)

Re: Working with Switch in a group of people?

We actually have a developer license, but for some reason that server isn't up to date. As soon as I joined the company I asked them to upgrade it. I can see why having a dev license can be usefull, but what about two Switch Liceses? How could we change our way of working by having two licenses? Wo...

Re: Working with Switch in a group of people?

As you've noticed, currently, only one person can use the Designer at the same time. Here are a few things that have made sharing Switch with a team easier: having several Switches helps ;) but our person-to-Switch-ratio is still over 1… as much as possible, use web portal to inspect private datas (...

Re: Here's a script to see all Private Data via the Jobs Pane

I already noticed: You have to be careful with this if you are clicking folders with a lot of jobs, the load time here will go up tremendously. This snippet is a useful idea, but for us, unfortunately, viewing custom values in the Jobs pane is rarely useful due to the long loading times even with m...

Re: Change flow parameters directly in flow XML?

I do my Feature request to a Support issue, then it get booked in the system and sent to the proper channel at Enfocus. …and the feature request goes into a black hole you never hear from again and you can't follow its progress... One such feature request would be to have a proper feature request p...

Re: Change flow parameters directly in flow XML?

…if only you could define e.g. Archive hierarchy path as private data ;-) There is an app for that: https://www.enfocus.com/en/appstore/product/store-it I agree it should be in Archive hierarchy. Oh, yeah, I had forgotten about that. It's a pity that users have to create workarounds for features th...

Re: Change flow parameters directly in flow XML?

But in general that process should work, although not in any way an official or supported way to do it... ;-) Just came to mind that I have no idea if there has been developed any "security measures" to prevent this in the last few years because it's a while since we did that last time… G...

Re: Change flow parameters directly in flow XML?

If you are going to change a lot of settings anyway, consider using this app: https://www.enfocus.com/en/appstore/product/global-data . Instead of using fixed values here and there you always use a dataset/private data and in the beginning of the flow you get the values from global data. It has the...

Re: Change flow parameters directly in flow XML?

We had a similar case where the server name was changed so UNC paths had to be modified in hundreds of places. On another occasion we moved our PS action list location and we managed to change those in batch, too. We did as you outlined + server reboot before starting the flows, but if I remember co...

Re: Is there a (sensible) upper limit for log messages?

We keep the logs in the database (Preferences––>Application data––>Keep log messages…) for a week. For a while we tried to keep several weeks worth of logs in the database and that definitely affected performance. We've also enabled csv logging (Preferences––>Logging––>Log to csv file) and have Swit...

Re: Warning in messages of Switch

In regards to debugging, is it possible to run the debug in Visual Studio Code on my mac, when Switch is running in my Windows server? I recommend trying VSCode Remote-SSH extension: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh We've been using it for over a year now and it has made developing scr...

Re: Migrate PitStop Server question

Yes, you can activate a 30 day trial license on the new server directly from the software. Then you can import hotfolders and test them before activating the subscription on the new server.

Re: Using automation to update Scripts within Switch

I just posted an update to our process outline @mkayyyy referred to because we've made a couple of changes in the past year: viewtopic.php?p=15570#p15570
Still not perfect, but easier than before.
