Hi all,



I try to sort files after an hour in the day. The easiest way to do this seems to use 'Condition with variables' defined with the date function as in the image:







This doesn't work. So it is a bug, or I made something wrong?

Hi,



I has same problem and i make this :



- on windows :

with "Task Sheduler" in administrative tools, you lanch this task at 12h00 on a file "move.bat" for example. And fhis file "move.bat" content : "move c:/FolerIn/*.pdf c:/FolderOut/".



- on mac :

with a crontab. The synthax is "mv MacintoshHDD:/*.pdf MacintoshHDD/".



search on google you find.

On the incoming folder there are several options to set time windows, one of them being time-of-day window. So when you set that to 12:00 and 12:01, this means that flow will only process files between those two time settings. There are also day-of-week and day-of-month windows.



If you want to do something similar somewhere in the middle of a flow, add a "Hold job" element. You will have the same time-window settings on the outgoing connections.

Thanks for all your responses.



We finally use incoming folder to sort files.



The cron was also a solution (script also).
