move instead of copy on replication(augment)?

[Cel123]

is it possible to augment a target with new files in source and then delete the source files that just got copied over?

thanks a bunch.

Hi, currently ViceVersa can't delete source files (move) after a copy, thanks

i found a way to do it, which is by runnign a batch file script after the profile executes (advanced profile settings), with the following in the batch file :

ECHO Y | DEL Z:\BlackBerry\camera\*.* /s

(where folder is your specific source folder of course)


thanks

Hi, make sure you delete the files only if the execution had no errors, that is, exit code is 0. ViceVersa passes the exit code to the script. thanks

thanks for pointing that out, i modified the batch file to the below, is that correct? for example, i dont know whether i need to do more processing to get access to the exit code from the viceversa script that runs before?

IF ERRORLEVEL 0 ECHO Y | DEL Z:\BlackBerry\camera\*.* /s

[Cel123]

and if viceversa script encounters an error, is teh exit code going to be positive number or negative number i.e. "IF ERRORLEVEL construction has one strange feature, that can be used to our advantage: it returns TRUE if the return code was equal to or higher than the specified errorlevel."

Hi,

See this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/121170

ViceVersa passes the exit code in a env. variable called VV_EXIT_CODE

See: http://www.tgrmn.com/web/kb/item65.htm

If VV_EXIT_CODE is 0 then the execution was OK. Otherwise the code is > 0

thanks

thanks for all the info! im pretty sure the following shoudl be fine now:

@ECHO OFF
IF "%VV_EXIT_CODE%" == "0" GOTO ACTION

ECHO Profile did not indicate success, file deletion will not be executed.
GOTO END

:ACTION
ECHO File deletion will be attempted.
ECHO Y | DEL Z:\BlackBerry\camera\*.* /s

:END
@ECHO ON

Hi,

yes, that should be fine, test it with a test folder by canceling the copy to see if the files are not deleted in that case. Also test it if you do not execute the profile but only compare source and target.

thanks

contrary to expectations, deletion is triggered when compare is done without execution in viceversa
(1 below).
ill jsut be aware of that, i dont mind that very much, because im automating the execution with vvengine anyway, so always gets execution after comparison.


more importatnly, as needed, script does NOT trigger deletion action
a) when copy is cancelled in viceversa execution,
b) and if the target folder is not accessible
(2 and 3 below)


and, deletion is triggered when copy is successful.
(log not appended)

Hi,

Further analysis resulted in no need to change the exit code if the profile was not executed, because there is another variable that contains that info: it's called VV_EXECUTED and it's available since version 2.5

Change your script to perform the deletion only if the exit code is 0 and VV_EXECUTED is equal 1 and you should be fine.

thanks!

thanks for letting me know!

@ECHO OFF

IF "%VV_EXIT_CODE%" == "0"
(
IF "%VV_EXECUTED%" == "1"
(
GOTO ACTION
)
)


ECHO Profile did not indicate success and-or comparison was not executed, so file deletion will not be executed.
GOTO END

:ACTION
ECHO File deletion will be attempted.
ECHO Y | DEL Z:\BlackBerry\camera\*.* /s


:END
@ECHO ON

Good script, thanks
