After the plugin is installed, it can be selected within the workflow for the respective tasks and thus executed automatically.
Overview and functionality
This plugin performs automated file and directory manipulations. Various rules can be defined in the configuration file to specify which actions should be applied to which files or directories.
Configuration
The plugin is configured in the file plugin_intranda_step_processfolder_migration.xml as shown here:
<config_plugin>
<!--
order of configuration is:
1.) project name and step name matches
2.) step name matches and project is *
3.) project name matches and step name is *
4.) project name and step name are *
-->
<config>
<!-- which projects to use for (can be more then one, otherwise use *) -->
<project>*</project>
<step>*</step>
<!-- a rule specifies what shall happen inside of the process folder
- `action` defines what shall be done:
- `move`: renaming of the source path to a new target path
- `delete`: deleting the folder or file
- `create`: create a folder under the given source path
- `copy`: renaming of the source path to a new target path
- `source` is the relative path inside of the process folder that is to be adapted
- `target`: is the new name that shall be given to the source path if this is available,
a wildcard is only allowed for the part of the path if action is 'delete'
Please notice that the rules are executed in the order they are listed here.
