Input File - AUDIT Issue

AnkitDesai

Hello, Is there a way to move the input file from one folder to another once the workflow is completed. Things I am looking out for : 1. Move the Raw file from the Input folder to a different folder say Input1, post the workflow is completed ( so that there are no chances of using the same Input file for the next run) 2. Simultaneously, save the Raw input folder with today's date for future Audit requirements I was able to get it rename the Raw file with today's date but unable to perform first Step. Please help to check and assist on same. Thanks

Sure, that will teach me to be a little lazy and not answer properly!

If you create a batch file that looks like:

cd "C:\Users\jstrellis\Dropbox (Alteryx, Inc.)\MyDocuments\Community\RenameFolder"
Ren "OrignalName" "OrignalName_%date:~6,4%%date:~3,2%%date:~0,2%"
mkdir "C:\Users\jstrellis\Dropbox (Alteryx, Inc.)\MyDocuments\Community\RenameFolder\Rename"

And then run this as an event after your workflow has finished, that should do the trick.

cd changes the directory to the parent folder you are working in.

ren will rename a folder in that directory, in my example above I have the folder OriginalName, that gets renamed to add "_YYYYMMDD" on the end of it.

I then make the original folder again.

I think that should do what you need.
