Copy Job Files (Topographic Production)

Summary

Copies Workflow Manager (Classic) job files to and from a local machine and a shared directory for processing.

Caution:

This tool is designed to be run as a step in a Workflow Manager (Classic) workflow. Running this tool outside of Workflow Manager (Classic) does not honor all Workflow Manager (Classic) constraints such as job assignment, dependencies, or holds and may cause a job to enter an unusable state.

Caution:

This tool is intended for use with the Topographic Mapping production workflows and will not support an improperly configured Workflow Manager (Classic) repository. Sample workflows and instructions for configuring Topographic Mapping production workflows are available as part of the product file installer.

Usage

• If the name of a file in the target path matches a file from the source path, the file in the target will be overwritten.

• This tool updates the TOPO_PRODUCTION_PROPERTIES.Current_Job_Path extended property value.

• This tool requires that the TOPO_PRODUCTION_PROPERTIES.Shared_Job_Path and TOPO_PRODUCTION_PROPERTIES.Current_Job_Path extended property values are populated for the selected job.

• When the Archive Source Files parameter is checked, a .zip file will be created containing the files from the source path. The .zip file will be created in the target path and named with the job ID and the current date time stamp.

• When the Archive Source Files parameter is checked, the path to the .zip file created will be written to the TOPO_PRODUCTION_PROPERTIES.Output_File_Path extended property.

• When the Delete Source Files parameter is checked, the source path and all the files it contains will be deleted after they are successfully copied to the target path.

• When the Create Job Folder parameter is checked, a folder will be created in the target path. The folder will be named using the job name. All of the files from the source path will be copied to this new folder.

• If values exist for the TOPO_PRODUCTION_PROPERTIES.Item_URL, TOPO_PRODUCTION_PROPERTIES.Current_Job_Data_Path, or TOPO_QC_PROPERTIES.job_reviewer_db extended properties, the values for the properties will be updated to point to the target path.

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
job_id	The Job ID of the Workflow Manager (Classic) job that will be updated.	Long
source_path	The path to the folder containing the files to be copied.	Folder
target_path	The path to the location where the files will be copied.	Folder
archive_source (Optional)	Specifies whether the files in the source path will be zipped before copying to the target location.
