Data Services Script to move excel file

[#1]

Hi All,

I'm new to Data Services and need some help in creating a script that will sit at the end of a workflow which will move an excel file (.xls) from one folder location to an archive folder. The file move needs to complete so that when the workflow is executed the following day, the dataflow before the script picks up the new file (hence the wildcard * in the file name)

exec('cmd.exe','Move \\FAS2050N1\Groups\Reports\Business Intelligence\Excel Based Feeds\AACC\Warehouse Feed\Daily CDN Export*.xls \\FAS2050N1\Groups\Reports\Business Intelligence\Excel Based Feeds\AACC\Warehouse Feed\Archive',1);

The workflow validates and executes but I get error 50306.

I don't want to go down the route of creating a .bat file on the server

Kind Regards
Wardie

You don't need a script. Simply use the file_move built-in fundtion. From the SAP Data Services Reference Guide:

"

Moves an existing file to a different location using the same file name or a different file name. Moves a group of files indicated by a wildcard to a different existing directory. Overwrites any existing target file(s) when overwrite flag is set to 1. Original file does not exist in the original location after file_move.

"

There are a couple of examples in that guide, too.
