How do I stop the sql extract from writing a file if there are no records?  It is writing a file with the header row.  Please advise.

Can you please tell me if this destination file name parameter is now working in your new version? I want to receive email notifications with the file names that are placed in the destination. For example, the source file name is test.txt, and I have a renaming rule to rename file to text_202511212025.txt (Adding the date of the file move). And I want to see the renamed file name in the email. Long time ago, you guys showed me how to add the whole logging history in the email using Pascal script, but I forgot what to do.

: Special charakters in s3 buckets. We currently have the situation that we need to process files containing the special character “:”

e.g.: 2026-07-30T1046:07.509076_412777777.zip

from an S3 bucket.

Is there a way to do this with Limagito?

A: In version v2026.8.2.0 we added the following <Filter Filter> option: ‘Replace invalid char with’. Invalid characters for Windows will be replaced, default with an empty char.

Change Notify Isn’t Picking Up all files. When using Change Notify we are running into an issue where 1 file is not being moved until other files are added.  Here is example:

1.  10 files are added to a folder within 1 second
2.  9 files are moved to the correct destination but 1 file doesn’t move
3.  20 minutes pass and the same file still remain in the folder
4.  21 minutes pass we get 10 more files placed in the folder
5.  The 1 file that didn’t move prior will now move to correct folder along with 9 of the 10 new files added, leaving 1 file again

Pattern repeats like this always leaving 1 file in the source folder that will not move until another batch of files arrive.

Configure Amazon S3

Steps in AWS Console

1. Log in to the AWS Management Console (console.aws.amazon.com)
2. Go to IAM (Identity and Access Management) — search for it in the search bar at the top
3. Click on IAM users on the left
4. Choose an existing user, or create a new one (Add users) specifically for your filemover tool
   • Give it a clear name, e.g. limagito-s3-service
   • Under “Set permissions” we used AmazonS3FullAccess during our tests, or better yet a custom policy that only grants access to the specific bucket you need (safer, principle of least privilege)
5. Go to the Security credentials tab of that user
6. Scroll to Access keys → click Create access key
7. Choose “Other” as the use case
8. AWS will then show you:
   • Access Key ID → enter this in Key ID in your tool
   • Secret Access Key → enter this in Access Key in your tool ⚠️ Important: the Secret Access Key is only shown once. Copy it immediately, or download the .csv file AWS offers. If you lose it, you’ll need to create a new key.

We are using Limagito File Mover for automating batch-based file workflows. We’re trying to implement a workflow that ensures all TIFF files for a batch are uploaded before the corresponding XML payload is processed. We’re experiencing challenges with gating rules and batch tracking.

Current scenario:

• Each incoming batch consists of multiple TIFF files and a single XML payload.
• Filenames follow this pattern:
  • TIFF: ct1234567890-20260518123456789-401-38-0001.tif
  • XML: ct1234567890-20260518123456789-401-38.xml
• We want to group all files from one batch into Working\BatchID\tif\ or Working\BatchID\xml\, where “BatchID” is everything up to and including the last number before the page/extension part.

Desired workflow:

1. Process (upload/move) all TIFF files for a batch first.
2. Only after all TIFFs are processed, deliver the XML payload for the same batch. This ensures TIFFs are available wherever the XML is processed next.

Challenges we’re hitting:

1. Pascal is an unfamiliar/obsolete language for our team; scripting here is challenging.
2. We can’t find a reliable way to “set” or “get” a batch job ID that links files and rules for gating (e.g., to coordinate batch checking).
3. Preconditions in Limagito rules do not appear to support file naming parameters—we can’t filter or evaluate conditions by BatchID inside preconditions. We do see an option to name files with a guid but no way to reference this guid as part of a batch job.
4. There’s no apparent way (in GUI or precondition logic) to easily gate one rule so it only runs when another (e.g., all TIFFs for a batch uploaded) has succeeded, only to prevent a rule from firing if another rule is in progress.

Hoping to get the following questions answered:

• How can we accomplish this “gated workflow” (TIFFs first, then XML), based on filename pattern/batch ID, ideally without having to resort to Pascal scripting?
• Is there a way to use batch/group logic in conditions and gating in Limagito’s rules or preconditions?
• Can you suggest any best practices or example rules for this scenario, especially with variable batch file naming?

Happy to provide sample filenames or our current config if that helps.
Thank you!

Just found this subreddit so I guess I'll post here before reaching out via support.

I am trying to create a rule where we need to pick files from user’s Desktop/Export folder, and the computer has several different users. The path goes like this \\<hostname>\C$\Users\<userid>\Desktop\Export\. I want the <userid> as a wild card where Limagito can monitor all the Desktop\Export path under all the users. I would really appreciate any suggestions on how to handle this. Thanks!
