parallizing rules execution

[thk]

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 very slow and the executing process (that starts the ftp-transfer) has to wait long until the process can continue.

How can I get a better performance.
Just an idea of my side: can I de-couple somehow the ftp-upload from the rules execution so that I have two different processes? So the process starting the ftp-transfer doesn't have to wait for rules execution.  The rules execution shouldn't be triggered by the arriving of the files but by a different event. Is there a trick to do it?

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,

Can anybody post me an example for an script which moves all existing content files (not the subfolders) in the space to a subspace and then deletes the flagfile?  Im no javascript programmer.

Appreciate any helpl!!!

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.
