Hi,
I tried to setting up my MQFTE in order to copy all files from a source directory except one (or except more). I was not able to do this...
Have anybody an idea, how can I do this?
I made a rule to move files from D:\IN directory with * pattern to D:\OUT directory and made a trigger with D:\IN\XY.txt NOT exists condition. In this case 0 files moved.
If I made trigger with XY.txt NOT exists, all files moved, XY.txt too.
Second question: Can I use wildcards in triggers?
Regards,
Balage |

I expect you need to trigger when any file exists, and use the rule to exclude XY.txt.
The first case you set up says "move all files, unless the file D:\IN\XY.txt exists".
The second case you set up says "move all files, unless the file <current working directory for the MQFTE process>\XY.txt exists".
So look at the pattern specifications and see how to create a rule that says "match all files EXCEPT XY.txt". |

No you cannot currently do this.
We are currently investigating what customers would like from Directory Monitoring, if you be so kind as to put your thoughts on this thread as to what you would like to see from this functionality that would be great!
Cheers

Where can I look it? Could you show me this pattern for me?

I installed this "tool" last friday, so I just started to learn its functionality.
We will have to make a tender based on WebSphere technologies for a small bank, who wants to automatize file transfers between their systems. So I have to know as much as I can 
In other case, an another partner have an old MQ, and they will have to upgrade it. They use other technologies to move files between systems. If this product has more features, then the old one, than...
There is at least two problem with the old one.
1. It cannot make additional copies during the file transfer for different destinations.
2. You cannot make rules like "move all except these or except one".
Shortly, thats all.
Regards, |

A quick glance through the infocenter says that the pattern language for WMQFTE doesn't currently include a "not" operator.
If your file name is really "XY.TXT", then I don't believe you can specify a rule that will exclude this. If, however, the filename is something like "XY<otherstuff>.TXT" and all of the files that you want to process are "AB<otherstuff>.TXT", then you can wirte a rule like"AB*.txt" and that will ignore the file you want to ignore. |

Of course, the XY.TXT is an example. The main task is making rule which basically true with one or more exceptions.

OK. This was the end of this business...
Thanks for all. |
