Move Folder

Source

• Location: Specifies the file system in which the source folder exists. File systems or locations can include local file systems or network shares, Librarian, or a supported cloud storage location. For more information about supported cloud storage locations, refer to the Administration Console Cloud Storage Page.

• Folder: Specifies the folder that you want to move. You can enter the folder path and name or click Browse to locate and then select the folder. Alternatively, you can add a variable to specify the folder that you want or add a special character to the value that you enter.

Destination

• Location: Specifies the file system to which you want to move the folder.

• Folder: Specifies the location that you want to move the folder to. You can enter the destination folder path and name or click Browse to locate and then select the destination folder that you want. Alternatively, you can add a variable to specify the folder that you want or add a special character to the value that you enter.

• Replace folder if it already exists: Specifies that if a folder that has the same name already exists, the existing folder is overwritten.

• Merge contents with existing folder: Specifies that if a folder that has the same name already exists, the content of the moved folder is merged with the content of the existing folder. Files in the existing folder that have the same name as files in the moved folder are overwritten.

• Make folder name unique by appending serial number: Specifies that if a folder that has the same name already exists, the moved folder is made unique by appending a serial number to the folder name.

• Make folder name unique by appending time stamp: Specifies that if a folder that has the same name already exists, the moved folder is made unique by appending a time stamp to the folder name.

• Fail if folder already exists: Specifies that if a folder that has the same name already exists, the action fails, and the folder is not moved to the new location.

• Save folder name to variable: Specifies the variable to which you want to save the folder name. Enter the variable name in the input box. Alternatively, you can add a variable.

Action

• Name: Specifies the name of the action. You can replace the default name by entering a new name in the field.

• Description: Specifies a description for the action.

• Run Action: Specifies how often you want to run the action.

  • Always: Specifies that the action runs each time the process file is run.

  • Never: Specifies that the action does not run when the process file is run.

  • Conditionally, based on variable: Specifies that the action runs only when a selected variable meets a specified condition. Use this option in situations in which there is only one condition that determines whether the action runs. After you select this option, you can create the conditional statement in the input box.

    Input box controls

    • Variable: Specifies the variable that you want to use for the conditional statement. Enter the variable in the input box. Click to see a list of recently used variables, or click Variable or More Variables to open the Insert Variable dialog.

    • [Relational Operator]: Specifies the relational operator to use for the conditional statement. Click the existing operator to display a list of additional operators, and then click the one that you want to use. For more information, refer to Relational Operators. The operators that are available in the list depend on whether you selected Text or Decimal for the Type option.

    • Value: Specifies the values to use for the conditional statement. To add a value, click , click <enter a value>, enter the value that you want, and then press Enter. To delete a value, use the secondary mouse button to click it, and then click Delete. Some operators, such as Is blank and Is not blank, do not require a value to be specified. In these situations, the Value field is not available.

    • Type: Specifies whether the conditional statement is evaluating a text or decimal value.

       

  • Conditionally, based on expression: Specifies the conditions under which the action runs. Use this option for situations that require more than one conditional statement. When you select this option, you can create the conditional expression in the input box by creating the conditional statements that you want. You create and edit your conditional expression on the Tree View tab. Click the Text View tab to see a read-only text view of the conditional expression.

    Input box controls (Tree View tab)

    • [Conditional Joiner]: Specifies the conditional joiner for the conditional statements within the group. The default conditional joiner is And.

      Click the existing conditional joiner to display a menu that enables you to configure your conditional expression in one of the following ways:

      • And, Or, NotAnd, NotOr: Click the conditional joiner in the list that you want to use for the conditional statements. For more information about the supported conditional joiners, refer to Conditional Joiners.

      • Add Condition: Click to add another conditional statement to the current group.

      • Add Group: Click to add a subgroup of conditional statements to the current group.

      • Remove Group: Click to delete the subgroup. Available when you open the menu from a subgroup.

      • Clear All: Click to delete all conditional statements (including subgroups). Available when you open the menu from the top-most group.

    • : Click to add a conditional statement to the group that is associated with that joiner. Visible to the right of each conditional joiner in your expression.

    • :  Click to delete the conditional statement. Visible to the right of an existing conditional statement when you point to the statement.

    • Variable: Specifies the variable that you want to use for the conditional statement. Enter the variable in the input box. Click to see a list of recently used variables, or click Variable or More Variables to open the Insert Variable dialog.

    • [Relational Operator]: Specifies the relational operator to use for the conditional statement. Click the existing operator to display a list of additional operators, and then click the one that you want to use. For more information, refer to Relational Operators. The operators that are available in the list depend on whether you selected Text or Decimal for the Type option.

    • Value: Specifies the values to use for the conditional statement. To add a value, click , click <enter a value>, enter the value that you want, and then press Enter. To delete a value, use the secondary mouse button to click it, and then click Delete. Some operators, such as Is blank and Is not blank, do not require a value to be specified. In these situations, the Value field is not available.

    • Type: Specifies whether the conditional statement is evaluating a text or decimal value.

User Account

• Inherit from parent action: Specifies that the action inherits the user account credentials that are specified on the Actions property tab. Alternatively, if the action is part of a Group action, it inherits the user account credentials that are specified on the immediate parent Group action’s property tab.

• Specify user credentials: Specifies that the action runs by using the credentials that are specified.

Error Handling and Diagnostics

• Ignore errors and continue running actions: Specifies that if the action fails, the remaining actions continue to run. When this option is not selected and the action fails, the resulting behavior depends on several factors, as follows:

  The action is within a Group action

  • If you specified Sequentially for the Execute Actions property on the Group action's Execution tab, no further actions within that Group action are run. No actions outside of this Group action are affected.

  • If you specified In Parallel for the Execute Actions property on the Group action's Execution tab, the errors are ignored, and the other actions within that Group action are run. No actions outside of this Group action are affected.

  The action is not within a Group action

  • If you specified Sequentially for the Execute Actions property on the Actions Execution tab, no further actions within the process are run.

  • If you specified In Parallel for the Execute Actions property on the Actions Execution tab, the errors are ignored, and the other actions within the process are run.

• Retry if failed: Specifies that if the action fails, the Integration Service tries to run it again.

  • Maximum retries: Specifies the maximum number of times the Integration Service tries to run the action again. Available when the Retry if failed option is selected.

  • Retry interval: Specifies the length of time the Integration Service waits after the action fails before it tries to run the action again. Available when the Retry if failed option is selected.
