OS4X plugin os4xplugin filerename

Purpose

Rename all files of an OS4X job according to a specific rule.

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
• %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")
• %E: file extension (the text after the last dot, ".")
• %F: file extension (the text after the last dot, ".", including the last dot ".")
• %f: filename (basename only, without path)

Examples

All examples are based on an OS4X send job with number 76, addressed to company "c-works":

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

will compute to:

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

---

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

will compute to:

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

---

A SWAN-like directory behaviour would be:

/opt/os4x/data/%Y/%m/%d/%j

which will compute to:

/opt/os4x/data/2008/03/18/76

Return values

0: everything OK

1: Configfile (/etc/os4x.conf or value of environment variable "OS4X_CFGFILE", read in as file) cannot be found or database unavailable.

2: License error

3: XML parameter file cannot be parsed

4: Files cannot be renamed
