Is there any type of file stability checking done within RA_FTP? I tried researching the RA_FTP documentation but don't see if there is. I cant use a File Event as there is no agent on the client source server I am pulling the files off. So, is there any way or does SFTP already handle the fact that I don't want to pick up a file that is open?
One basic way is to run a command to list the size of the file using the FTP Agent, save the size retreived in a Variable object and do it again after a defined time and compare both values.
This can be done in a time event activating an FTP job. Once size is stable, stop the event and start the next object, the FTP transfer .... a bit complicated and stupid way to do it but it works
hi to you too.
As far as I know there is no builtin function neither in ftp agent nor in ftp commands.
The only valid solution I am aware of is copying the file with another extension e.g. myfile.tmp and afterwards rename it to the actual name myfile.pdf
