Success On |
|
Success on |
Success condition : select one of these option:
|
Nr errors lesser than |
The number of errors or number of files specified in the |
Result
What this action passes on to the next action. See Action results for how results travel through a workflow.
| Result | Value |
|---|---|
True |
The Success condition is met: no errors with Success when all works fine, at least Nr errors lesser than files processed with Success when at least x files processed, or no more errors than Nr errors lesser than with Success when number of errors lesser than (see the note below). |
False |
The success condition is not met: a result file no longer exists on disk, or could not be copied, moved or deleted. When the destination folder does not exist and Create destination folder is not selected, the action stops before processing any file, with 1 error. With Success when all works fine, the action stops at the first error. |
Result files |
The action works on the result files of the previous actions, limited by Limit action to and its wildcards. For each file copied or moved, Remove source filenames from result removes the source and Add destination filename to result adds the destination; both are selected by default. Delete removes the deleted files from the result files. A file whose destination already exists is skipped when Replace existing file is not selected: it stays in the result files and does not count as an error. |
Result rows |
Passed on unchanged. |
Lines written |
The number of files copied, moved or deleted. When the action stops because the destination folder does not exist, the value of the previous action is passed on. |
| With Success when number of errors lesser than, the action is still true when the number of errors equals Nr errors lesser than. With Limit action to selected, an invalid regular expression in Wildcard (RegExp) or Exclude wildcard (RegExp) makes the action false with 1 error. |
