Ignore All Files

Ignore All Files causes all files already downloaded or added via a script to be ignored in subsequent processing steps.

Input Parameters

• IgnoreAllFiles_Error5010 (Required): Affects which Next Action is executed at the end of the task, and allows you to select how subsequent processing occurs. Values: True - The script returns error 5010 to indicate No Files. False (default) - Returns 0 to indicate Success.

  When a task checks multiple sources for files, but finds no files, the IgnoreAllFiles script returns a Success message, which could be confusing. When you set this parameter to True, it will always return error 5010, whether files were found or not.

Example #1

You use trigger files to determine which source files need to be transferred, and you want to exclude the trigger files from the source list.

To perform this operation with MOVEit Automation:

1. Download X trigger files from a source.
2. For each trigger file, run custom "Process Trigger Files" script, which reads each trigger file and builds a list of files to download into a custom task parameter.
3. Run Ignore All Files to clear the trigger files from the file processing list.
4. Download all files specified by the custom task parameter built from the trigger files.
5. Upload files to the target destination.
