parallizing rules execution

I have an automatic ftp upload into alfresco. All arriving ftp-files should be sorted into subfolders according to defined rules.Problem: if I run the ftp upload without activated rules the performance for the ftp-transfer is not good but satisfying. If I however active the rules the transfer is ver

Maybe you can use something like I have:

Have the rule react only to a certain filename or file type, and update your ftp script accordingly.
For example, have the rule that waits for inbound "start_working.txt" and when one is uploaded, the rule works with the files in your incoming space?
And of course, update the ftp upload so it uploads an empty file named start_working.txt when it's done uploading other documents.

Hi,

but what when I for example want to move all content uploaded into a space to a subspace and trigger only for an item with the name "start-working.txt" the move action will also be executed only on this dummyfile and not on the real content. Does it mean I have to execute a script as an action? And I also have to delete the flagfile again at the end of the rules execution.

Thanks for help

Hi,

I really don't understand it:

That works but only moves the trigger_file not the other files:

var dss = space.childByNamePath("DSS");
document.move(dss);‍‍

This doesn't work, nothing happens (neither trigger nor other files are moved) but why?:

function movedoc(document)
{
var dss = space.childByNamePath("DSS");
for each (file in space.children)
{
file.move(dss);
}
}
movedoc(document);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And here also nothing happens:

var dss = space.childByNamePath("DSS");
for each (file in space.children)
{
file.move(dss);
}‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks for any help

Syntax should be:

space.children[file].move(dss];‍

Hi,

i've tried also

var dss = space.childByNamePath("DSS");
    for each (file in space.children)
    {
    space.children[file].move(dss);
    }‍‍‍‍‍

but nothing happens again.
