Routing jobs to external hotfolders with "s.copy"
Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2018 11:11 am
Hello guys,
i created a script/configurator that routes jobs to various external hotfolders with matching names (matching metadata with foldername).
That works quite well so far. Unfortunately, if you use "s.copy", the job prefix will be preserved. Is there a way to remove the job prefix within the script without using "sendto"? We currently have more than 100 hotfolders in use and want a solution without having to integrate all folders in switch.
I would be grateful for any suggestion.

Code: Select all
// Is invoked each time a new job arrives in one of the input folders for the flow element.
// The newly arrived job is passed as the second parameter.
function jobArrived(s: Switch, job: Job)
{
//Einstellungen des Konfigurators
var folderPath = s.getPropertyValue("rip_path", job) + "\\";
var errorPath = s.getPropertyValue("error_path", job) + "\\";
var linoPath = s.getPropertyValue("linoPath", job) + "\\";
var checkName = s.getPropertyValue("checkName", job);
var dataset = s.getPropertyValue("dataset", job);
//Jobname für Ausgabe
var name = job.getName();
//Pfad zum Hotfolder
var folder = new Dir(folderPath);
//Suchname
var shortJobName = job.getNameProper().match(/^[^ ]+/);
//Wenn/Dann Jobname/Name aus Metadaten
if (checkName == "Name aus Metadaten")
{
// Metadaten Infos auslesen (Kunde, Menge)
customer = job.getVariableAsString('[Metadata.Text:Path="/order/customer",Dataset="' + dataset + '",Model="XML"]');
amount = job.getVariableAsNumber('[Metadata.Integer:Path="/order/products/product/amount",Dataset="' + dataset + '",Model="XML"]');
shortJobName = customer + "_" + amount;
} else
{
shortJobName = shortJobName;
}
switch (shortJobName) {
case "geers_10":
shortJobName = "geers_hno_10";
break;
case "geers_15":
shortJobName = "geers_hno_15";
break;
case "geers_20":
shortJobName = "geers_hno_20";
break;
default: shortJobName = shortJobName;
}
//Alle Hotfolder mit dem Dateinamen abgleichen
var entries = folder.entryList(shortJobName + "*", Dir.Dirs | Dir.NoDotAndDotDot, Dir.Unsorted);
// Wenn mehr als "0" Suchtreffer, dann ...
if (entries.length > 0)
{
//Wenn genau "1" Suchtreffer
if (entries.length == 1)
{
s.copy(job.getPath(), folderPath + entries[0] + "/" + name);
job.log(1, "Das PDF '" + name + " (" + shortJobName + ")" + "' wurde dem Hotfolder '" + entries[0] + "' zugeordnet.");
} else
{
//Error wenn mehr als "1" Suchtreffer
s.copy(job.getPath(), errorPath + name);
job.log(3, "Das PDF '" + name + " (" + shortJobName + ")" + "' konnte keinem Hotfolder zugeordnet werden, da es mehr als einen passenden Ordner gab.");
}
} else
{
//Error wenn kein Suchtreffer
s.copy(job.getPath(), errorPath + name);
job.log(3, "Das PDF '" + name + " (" + shortJobName + ")" + "' konnte keinem Hotfolder zugeordnet werden! Sie finden es im Ordner: " + errorPath);
}
job.sendToNull(job.getPath());
}
Your solution works great!
