A lot of XML-files are being stored every day at a specific location as input for my QlikView application. QV will load all XML-files into one single QVD file every day.
Now, to prevent QV having to load all files over and over again and to prevent getting a huge load of files in my input folder, I would like to have each loaded XML-file automatically being moved to a backup folder. To keep using one QVD, I'd like to concatenate the data load of the new files. That shouldn't be a problem.
My question: is this possible in QlikView (automatically) and if so, how? If not, what are the alternatives?
There are several options. You can use the FileTime() function to check the dates of the files. If the fieldnames contain a date then you can use the FileName() or FileBaseName() functions. Or you can add an EXECUTE directive to your script that will move the files elsewhere: EXECUTE move *.xml "D:\Backup\";
