AdvancedFileTransfer - Create Timestamp on Filenames

Hi,

You can use AUTOEDIT variables in your filename like that example:

%%YEAR%%MONTH%%DAY.filename.txt

You could find AUTOEDIT Variables in Control-M User Guide

Hi Thomas

Try this example

\\servername\sharename\.%%YEAR.%%MONTH\.%%DAY\.%%TIME\filename..xml

I'm trying to copy files (using FTP) to a folder created with time stamps.

I put the dots between the variables: C:\SO\.%%$YEAR.%%MONTH\tmp\
The folder is created by DOS bat file, in format: YYYYMM

But job failed.

Here is the sysout:
Dst file: 'C:\SO\.2008CTMERRMONTH\tmp\file_1.txt' on host 'cmem6301sql'
File 'C:\SO\.2008CTMERRMONTH\tmp\file_1.txt' open for overwrite failed
Error[2]: The system cannot find the path specified.

How to solve that?
Tnx!

Try this

replace

C:\SO\.%%$YEAR.%%MONTH\tmp\

by

C:\SO\.%%$YEAR.%%MONTH.\tmp\

It works, fyot!
But without first dot.

(in .%%$YEAR)

Thanks a lot!

OK, another question

Every day the file is created, name as, for example, for today: "file-September 16, 2008.pdf"

Tomorrow, file name will be "file-September 17, 2008.pdf"

and so on...

(beware of space between "September" and "number 16, 17, and space between day and year)!
