[resolved] File sync

[_AnonymousUser]

Hi I want to keep the files at two locations in sync with each other.The two file locations will be passed as the context variables.
e.g.
let one location is C:/source
and the other is C:/target
When my job runs for the first time it should first check the source folder and match them with the contents of the target folder. If there is a difference in the two locations the files need to be copied to the other location.Basically the two folders need to be in sync with each other. If there are new files in the target folder they need to be copied to the source and vice versa.

Any help on the above will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

Hi
Using tFileList to iterate each file in source folder, check the file if it exits in the target using tFileExist, copy it to target folder with tFileCopy if not. Foe example:
tFileList--iterate--tJava--componentOK--tFileExist--runIf--tFileCopy

Thanks Shong!
Seems good..Do I need to follow the same steps in another flow while I check the target folder?
Because there may be a scenario that there is a new file in the target folder that also needs to be copied in the source folder.

Hi
Yes, use the same way to check the target folder in next subjob.

Hi,
Don't think you need to use a tJava (shong correct me if i'm wrong ). Just link your tfileList to the tFileExist.
tFileList--iterate--tfileExist---runif---tfilecopy

I'm not sure if tfileExist is a standalone component because when I am using the combination
tFileList--iterate--tfileExist---runif---tfilecopy
it gives me a syntax error in the tfileExist component.

My Bad!
seems to be working now...guess there was some mistake in the "if" condition.

Sometimes it's good to switch in the source view, it's easier to detect the errors
