Question:
We would like to schedule file transfer from Application A (Solaris) to Application B (AS400), where Application A generates files with a timestamp
ABC_25042014.txtin folderD:/A_Folder/.This folder will contain a number of files - typically 25 - and
...
YADE must only transfer those files with a timestamp for the current day and deliver them to Application B after they have been created.
The time at which the files to be transferred are created is not fixed and can be any time in the day.
The file size is around
...
100MB.
Answer:
File Selection:
JADE uses "RegularExpressions"YADE uses regular expressions, with a small an extension for timestamps. File selection should be specified using the "file_spec" parameter parameter with a variable part for the timestamp.
For example:
| Code Block |
|---|
file_spec=^ABC_[date:ddMMyyyy].\txt$
|
This file_spec value will select all files in the source_folder (and in subfolders, if the recursive parameter is set to "true") , which have that contain the current date as part of in the filename. It is not necesssary required to change tha adjust this parameter every day 
File Generation:

- Server-to-Server File Transfer in our "Server to Server Transfer with Polling" FAQ. You can achieve a reliable solution using this approach together with the "steady state" function as described in our "Check File for completeness Steady state" FAQ.
- If the
