Create a folder in a specific path and move the job's file

If the script is complete I do not see anything that cannot be done with "Set hierarchy path" and "Archive hierarchy". In "Set hierarchy path" you set the first segment to [Job.NameProper] and in "Archive hierarchy" you set the root F:/Switch/in and that will ...

XML pickup dismantle job

@Thorsten: you have not specified how you update the dataset, but I am assuming you are using a script. Here is a suggestion: do not update the dataset of each dismantled job straight away, but store the information in global data. After having assembled the jobs you update the dataset with what you...

Is it possible to use a delimiter to retreive parts of a variable without scripting?

Although I fully agree with the fact that a separator-based string extract is a great enhancement, there is something you can do with the string of the file name in your example. The 88888 is easily extracted with [[Job.NameProper:Before=_]. The same goes for the 16:[Job.NameProper:After=_]. The 1 o...

Folder Structure Using Hiearchy

No matter how many elements there are in your hierarchy path only so many will be used as are listed in Subfolder levels in Archive Hierarchy: /abc/def/ghi/jkl/123.pdf will end up as /abc/def/123.pdf when Subfolder levels is 2. I am not certain I fully understood what you are trying to achieve. If t...

pass job's metadata flow to flow

Pack/Unpack is a possibility but not necessary when you stay within the same environment. When you set the output folder to a specific path and you set Strip unique ID to No, then another flow can pick up the file from the location where it was saved and it will retain the metadata.

Passing Switch (XML) variables to PitStop Sever 11

Clive, in your preflight profile you use two variables (Reference, Dedication). At the moment of execution PitStop Pro or PitStop Server or Switch will give those variables the correct values. To do that in Switch all you have to do is to edit the variable set in Switch. You have to pick "Selec...

I have a good idea, but...

Hi Dwight, indeed, I overlooked that. Yours is certainly the easiest approach. I played around with TimerFired() during my tests, but there too I could not get it work with an external condition in order to come to a generic solution. The advantage of TimerFired() would be that you can set the inter...

@Dwight: your script will take the right decision, but it will continue immediately. What Clive wants is that it waits until the correct value is available in the database. So you will have to put a master loop in the script with an s.sleep(x) to avoid draining the CPU. @Clive: it is indeed not quit...

It can be done with a script element in front of the "Mail send" which behaves like "Hold", but instead of waiting for a defined length of time it waits until a condition is true before moving on to the next element in the flow. It is not that difficult.
