It might also be a good idea to log a feature request to Enfocus to have the "Retry failed external processes after " setting in a flow element basis. This way you would be able to use this (in my opinion dangerous) setting only on the flow element that requires it. The more people that r...

Hi Jimmy, I agree that time constraint options would be a useful addition to it. With the current version, would a workaround work where Dummy Job Clock triggers every 5 minutes 24/7 and you then route the resulting file to Trash if current time is between 23:01 and 04:59? ;-) edit: had to try it my...

We haven't had that problem in the more recent versions, either, but we still take backups of the file ‪C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Enfocus\Switch Server\settings\flowsPaneLayout.xml ––> if the flow grouping gets cleared, restoring that file from the backup and restarting Switch restores the...

Hi Jürgen,

My pleasure, good to hear that you got it working

[Job.Size] gives you a "nicely formatted" version of the size as it says in the description, i.e. 42 KB, 5 MB etc so you can't really compare those values. Use [Job.ByteCount] instead to get the actual size in bytes, which you can then compare e.g. [Job.ByteCount] is greater than 5242880 (...

I think Duplicate Pages Pro (https://www.enfocus.com/en/appstore/product/duplicate-pages-pro) can handle that. But do you have PitStop Server? With that, it's quite easy to create an action list that copies either the first page or the last page of the document so that you will get a single file wit...

Hi, We've been using Portals (a bit modified version 3.1) quite extensively the past couple of years and have occasionally faced similar problems, especially with writing the zip file. However, we're now in the process of migrating from Portals to the Switch2Switch app ( https://www.enfocus.com/en/a...

Backing up only Flow_n.xml's does not store all information, e.g. Property Sets are stored separately. So exporting is (currently) the way... Dominick has a Flow Auto Backup solution available here: https://github.com/open-automation/swit ... uto-backup , hopefully it helps you.

If you have Scripting Module and you want to ensure that there are always e.g. at least 3 numbers (001,002, ... 011 etc), you can use script expression in Rename job: var lengthRequired = 3; var regex = /^(\d+)/; var name = job.getNameProper(); name.match(regex); var nr = regex.capturedTexts[1]; var...

Hi I am trying to get the total page count of all files in a zip file and without using external scripts only way I know of is to use job.getVariableAsNumber("[Stats.NumberOfPages]"), but that requires that the files are turned into jobs, doesn't it? I tried to implement that idea, but I c...

OK, thanks for the clarification. We're using Switch 11 update 4, so I'll get in touch with Enfocus Support then!



Thanks,

Hi,

Yes it's FTP, not SFTP. I haven't been able to confirm from them, but they are running Apache 2.22 (ubuntu) on Amazon EC2 so I think it's vsftp. FTP banner shows only version number 1.9.2.4. Does that help?

Hi, I'm struggling with some errors when using FTP Receive. We use it to retrieve some folders with files from our client's FTP site and we can access the site without problems with an FTP client. However, when I connect to it using the FTP Receive configurator (I use the configurator's Choose folde...

Thanks! I just wanted to spare you from the long strings I have the script to search and replace, which I have inline so I replaced them with "search_string" and "replacement_text". So everything works now, thanks!

Hi, I created a flow using Applescript to do a simple search and replace in an html file with TextWrangler. The search and replace works fine, but the script ends in error with the message: '"path-to-file.html" doesn't understand the send to single message'. Same error appears with alias a...
