Hi,



i want to send PDFs to a ftp-server, this works great. But i want to collect 30 or 40 pdfs until the transfers should start. Is this possible without scripting?



Thanks for your help.

Hello, you could use "Hold Job" to batch the files and then release them to FTP Send.

I know that i can stop it manually with that option. But i need that automatet by the flow.



I mean...start sending when more than 30 Jobs/Files there, like that little script-code:



if(fileliste.length > 30)

{

sendFTP...

}

else

{

wait until filelist.length >30

}



or is there a other function to do that?

Hello w.schaf,



I think you missunderstood "dkelly": You don't have to use the "stop flow" button manually, but the "hold job" element. In the outgoing connection of the "hold element" there's a property "folder constraint". Shouldn't the "Maximum file count" property will solve your problem?



There's also a little video of enfocus:

(can't find the original link at the moment)



Hope this helps,

Sorry, I meant to say "Assemble Job". Set it to wait for 30 or 40 jobs.

Thanks for the help, but that is not what i searching for.

Sorry, for my bad description.

The flow should start the transfer to the ftp when there more than 30 jobs in the queue.



Example ->

1. File -> not sent

2. File -> not sent

3. File -> not sent

.

.

.

30 File -> Send all collected files from 1-30

31 File -> Send file

32 File -> Send file

.

.

.

.

After a lot of searching i think there is no solution without scripting.

This is what i heave now:

D:TestParkplatz

function jobArrived( s : Switch, job : Job )

{

var parkingLot = "D:TestParkplatz";

var Pagecount = s.getPropertyValue("Startpunkt"); //30

var objParkplatz = new Dir(parkingLot);

var pdfFiles = objParkplatz.entryList( "*", Dir.Files, Dir.Name);



s.sleep(5);

var inJOB = s.getJobs();



if(pdfFiles.length >= Pagecount && inJOB.length == 1)

{

job.log(-1, "Send all files form the parkingLot. Count: "+ pdfFiles.length );



/* AND HOW CAN I CONTINUE ALL THE OTHER JOBS???? */



}

else

{

job.log(-1, "Ignor/delete Job!");

job.sendToNull(job.getPath());

}

}

I am sorry, but I fail to see what is wrong with Dwight's suggestion to use "Assemble job". Looking at the script it does not do anything else than what the "Every N jobs" property of the "Assemble job" element will do.
