I_WA_Dir_List

Lists all the files and directories from either the source or destination hosts or both in the job output. This option enables you to get a snapshot of a directory listing to save, archive, or mail it or automate a following process that needs all files in that content.

EXAMPLE: Directory of C:\Users\vagrant\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\ServerManager

05/17/2014 06:47 AM 341 ServerList.xml

NOTE:

  • If the Recursive option is selected, all sub directories and files are included in the job output.
  • For each directory or pattern matching string, the job output includes the exact output from the local, FTP, SFTP, or S3 response for the LIST, DIR, or ls command.

I_WA_Synchronize_Left

(Windows/Linux only) Synchronizes all files from host1 to host2 by comparing all files in the source and destination folders based on the last modification and does the following:

  • Transfers all files that appear in the source directory and do not appear in the destination.
  • Transfers files only if the source file timestamp is more recent than the destination file timestamp.
  • Deletes all files in the destination folder that do not appear in the source.

    NOTE:

  • To synchronize sub-directories, use the Recursive option.
  • You can use file pattern in the source path to synchronize specific files. For example: /src_path/*.pdf

I_WA_Synchronize_Right

(Windows/Linux only) Synchronizes all files from host2 to host1 by comparing all files in the source and destination folders based on the last modification and does the following:

  • Transfers all files that appear in the source directory and do not appear in the destination.
  • Transfers files only if the source file timestamp is more recent than the destination file timestamp.
  • Deletes all files in the destination folder that do not appear in the source.

    NOTE:

  • To synchronize sub-directories, use the Recursive option.
  • You can use file pattern in the source path to synchronize specific files. For example: /src_path/*.pdf

If you have successfully watched a file using a variable, you can share that variable to an additional transfer in the Source path within the same job using the following variables:

If you selected the Rerun from point of failure checkbox, you cannot use the above variables.
