OS4X plugin os4xplugin filecopy

Puropose

Copy all files of a job into a defined target directory. The default assumption is:

• <data incoming directory>/<jobnummer> for incoming jobs
• <data_outgoing_directory>/<jobnummer> for outgoing or jobs of unknown type

Requirements

• File /etc/os4x.conf or configuration file pointed to in environment variable $OS4X_CFGFILE. Via the used configuration file, the information are retrieved used by the plugin (such as default configuration etc.).

Configuration

The target filename can be set up to contain variables. These variables are exchanged by runtime information of the OS4X job, in which context the plugin is run.

The usable variables are:

• %j: job number
• %d: day of job creation (two digits)
• %m: month of job creation (two digits)
• %Y: year of job creation (four digits)
• %H: hour of job creation (two digits, 24h format)
• %M: minute of job creation (two digits)
• %S: second of job creation (two digits)
• %D: job direction: "incoming" or "outgoing"
• %r: recipient partner shortname
• %s: sender partner shortname
• %t: recipient location name
• %u: recipient department name
• %v: recipient first name
• %w: recipient family name
• %x: recipient address code
• %g: sender location name
• %h: sender department name
• %i: sender first name
• %J: sender family name
• %k: sender address code

Since OS4X 3 Build 20140227 the following variable is available:

• %e: depending on the job direction, the company shortname of the external communication partner:
  • incoming jobs: sender's company shortname (= "%s")
  • outgoing jobs or undefined job direction: recipient's company shortname (= "%r")

All examples rely on an outgoing job 76 from and to the company "c-works"

/opt/os4x/tmp/%r/os4x_job_%j/

renders to:

/opt/os4x/tmp/c-works/os4x_job_76

---

/opt/os4x/tmp/%D/%r/%j

renders to:

/opt/os4x/tmp/outgoing/c-works/76
