Interconnect

  • Move File integration and auditing—Variables (dynamic data) and Events (recorded activity). Access variables holding the most recent source and destination filenames, or when moving multiple files at once, access lists with source, destination, both sets, as well as a file count. Detailed logs of file moving progress, subfolder creation, and any errors are also kept.

Notes

  • Automation Workshop supports Unicode file names, and path up to 32,000 characters, providing a necessary capacity when performing automated file moving.
  • The Move File Action always creates a destination folder (if needed).
  • The destination files created by Move File Action preserve creation and modification date of source files; however, last accessed date is set to current.
  • Move File Action always sets archive attribute to files when move operation is performed.
