File attributes problem

[Former Member]

Hi,

Whenever the user places their file in the input file location it is with rw-r-r. PI is not able to pick up the file.

PI is able to process the file which atleast has the attributes rw-rw-r.

is there any automated way to change the file attributes so that PI can process the file

Hi,

i think you can use a file adapter feature called "Run Operating System Command Before message processing"" and excute a unix shell script to change the mode of the file first and then pick the file using the file adapter.

Refer the following blogs and links for more information:

Hi puneet,

The OS commands will be executed only after executing the communication channel(after the file is picked up).

So i dont think so writing OS commands will suffice.. for this issue.

Hi,

From PI side, u cannot do anything, because it can access only those files which have permission to access.

So u can write a batch, which will poll and changes the permissions of the files present in a directory.

Hi Babu,

Can you please let know how to write a batch, which will poll and changes the permissions of the files present in a directory

Jus clicked the button "Process read-only files" which is present in the Processing tab so that it processes RW-R-R files.
