how to delete the files present in the source after they are copied and archived using the tFileArchive component?

[Aish123]

Hi,

I am performing a job which takes the input from the Excel file which consists of filepath location.

There are different files present in that location which are getting copied in the different folder.

By using tfileArchive i am archiving the folder and placing that folder in different location. 

When all the files from the source folder gets archived i want to delete the files present in the source folder.

Can someone please help me with this task?

Hi,

    Capture the output of tjavarow (which I assume is the list of files or directory) to a tHashOutput(which stores the data in memory).

     Then read the same data using a tHashInput and pass it as parameter to perform the copy.

      Once you complete the copy, use a On SubJob Ok and extract the data again using tHashInput but this time, use it as parameter to a tFileList followed by tFileDelete.

Note:- Please note to clear the Hash by selecting the check box when you are reading the tHashInput for the last time.

Hi,

Is there any other way to achieve this task as i do not have "tHash" component in the talend version which i am using.

Hi,

    Hash components are available in all Talend version. Please go to File -> Edit Project Properties -> Designer -> Palette and move the Hash components to your available list.

Hi,

   Assuming you are going to store the directory details in Hash, below will be a skeleton solution. You will have to enhance it based on your specific requirement.

Please make sure that you are clearing the hash in the last hashinput call and select the delete directory option in the tFileDelete.
