I'd like to use getfiles to grab any files on an ftp site
And... after pulling those files down
process them.
But, it seems like it's running the rest of my code
before actually grabbing all the files
I'd really like for it to wait, to get all the files
i'm calling this from a powerbuilder application.

maybe it would help me to understand, the order of how the events fire
is there some way, that I can tell when getfiles has finished
pulling all the files?

thanks

Hi,

Did you try to use Done Event? This event should be fired when GetFiles Method finished with execution.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,
Drazen

well the done event will fire each time a function is executed
like connect, getfiles, etc
in this section below (it's on the connected event)
i want to get everything, of a certain naming convention
and, then delete those specific files that I pulled
but... i'm using the loopitem to try and trap the filenames that were pulled
and, it doesn't seem to be saving them off
every time, my nbr_ftp_files is just 1
even though I'm incrementing it in the loopitem event

connected
----------

nbr_ftp_files = 1

in_dir = capp_directory + 'jpmc\import\'
out_dir = '/Outbound/Encrypted/'
ole_ftp.object.getfiles(in_dir, out_dir )

for i = 1 to nbr_ftp_files
ole_ftp.object.deletefile(file_array )
next

f_list = capp_directory + '\jpmc\import\DOCCTS.EFS.ACK2*'
lb_filelist.dirlist(f_list, 0)
if lb_filelist.totalitems() < 1 then
messagebox('JPMC Upload', 'There are No files to Upload')
else
st_files.text = string(lb_filelist.totalitems())
if messagebox('JPMC Files','Do you wish to Proceed with the Processing of the files', Question!, YesNo!) = 2 then
else
for i = 1 to lb_filelist.totalitems()
process_files(lb_filelist.text(i))
next
end if
end if

ole_ftp.object.disconnect(true)
pb_update.enabled = true
pb_ok.enabled = false

loopitem
-------
if (match(remotefile,'DOCCTS.EFS.ACK2') = true) then
file_array[nbr_ftp_files] = remotefile
nbr_ftp_files = nbr_ftp_files + 1
messagebox('error',string(nbr_ftp_files))
Skip = false
else
messagebox('error','skip')
skip = true
end if

Hi Scot,

If I understand your code correctly you are saving only DOCCTS.EFS.ACK2 file. Other files are skipped from download.

What happens if you remove match line from your code snippet inside LoopFiles Event?

Does it work in that case maybe?

what's odd is, the pulling of the files seems to work
but, it doesn't want to count / capture
the number of files, and their filenames into an array

pulling out the match.. and just incrementing the nbr_ftp_files
still came up with only 1
even though there is more than 1 file, that is pulled

does the code keep processing?
and the getfiles is done in conjunction with the rest of the script
i would like to do it sequentially
only delete the files, once the getfiles has done it's job

what's really odd
is I tried to swap the deletfile, to deletefiles
and, just delete all of them
I'm getting an pb error on the function
when it hits the deletefiles
any ideas?

string local_send, remote_send
string in_dir, out_dir
long tot_files, i

If ErrorCode <> 0 Then
messagebox('ERROR','UNABLE TO CONNECT TO FTP SITE, CONTACT SUPPORT - ERROR CODE = ' + string(errorcode))
close(parent)
return
end if

nbr_ftp_files = 1

in_dir = capp_directory + 'jpmc\import\'
out_dir = '/Outbound/Encrypted/'
ole_ftp.object.getfiles(in_dir, out_dir )

ole_ftp.object.deletefiles(out_dir )

Scot,

You are missing MaxLevel argument inside GetFiles and DeleteFiles Method.

More info you can find here:

http://www.weonlydo.com/FtpDLX/Help/wodFtpDLX-GetFiles.html
http://www.weonlydo.com/FtpDLX/Help/wodFtpDLX-DeleteFiles.html

here is example when maxlevel argument is set to 1:
----------------------------------------
ole_ftp.object.getfiles(in_dir, out_dir,1)

ole_ftp.object.deletefiles(out_dir,1)
----------------------------------------

getfiles was working without the maxlevel
and, the docs say it's optional

i tried the maxlevel on the delete
and it still blows up

in_dir = capp_directory + 'jpmc\import\'
out_dir = '/Outbound/Encrypted/'
ole_ftp.object.getfiles(in_dir, out_dir, 1 )

ole_ftp.object.deletefiles(out_dir, 1 )

Scot,

What happens if you add this line inside LoopError Event:

ErrorCode = 0

if I comment out the loopitem code
the delete works without error
but, I need something to ensure that I don't delete the wrong files

//if (match(remotefile,'DOCCTS.EFS.ACK2') = true) then
// Skip = false
//else
// skip = true
//end if
//

Scot,

Which error did you receive?

it seems like getfiles, or deletefiles work fine by themselves
but, when I try to do both... is when I get a powerbuilder error message

error #35
error calling external object function deletefiles at line 18
in the connected event of object ole_ftp of w_import_jpmc_trans
line 18 in script
which is the deletefiles line

if I comment out the getfiles, the deletefiles works
doesn't make much sense.

in_dir = capp_directory + 'jpmc\import\'
out_dir = '/Outbound/Encrypted/'
ole_ftp.object.getfiles(in_dir, out_dir, 1 )

ole_ftp.object.deletefiles(out_dir, 1 )

Scot,

You need to wait for first command to finished with execution and then execute next command.

You can use Done Event and execute commands there because Done Event is fired when command finished with execution.

ok... but, how do I tell which method is actually finishing?
the done event will fire when the connection is established
AND.. when the deletefiles finishes
I don't want to do the same code over and over

unless I use a variable to keep track of what stage I'm in

stage = 1
getfiles

in done
if stage = 1
stage = 2
deletefiles
end

move the delete from connected to done

seems excessive

Scot,

You need to track somehow execution of your commands. So you need to do something like that.
