detecting errors within hf_post

[loweworldwide]

Is there a way of determining which sets were in error when processing files using hotfolders. Primarily through the hf_post function.

I was thinking of loading the text file, but the task of determining which error was caused by which set seemed to be too complex.

Assuming the word "set" to be equivalent to "a single group of items dropped into the hot folder at one time," this is very easy to do in a "live" manner: the number that starts the "<some #>.errors" file that appears inside the ^Results folder is also the name of the folder where the originals were moved to under the ^Processed folder. (That number is also the name of folder containing the resulting files that did not encounter errors.)

You will probably want to use MediaScript file methods (described in the Programmers Guide) in the hf_post area of your script to get it to programatically make this determination.

When I refer to set, I mean the individual processes that occur on each uploaded file, mostly based on the formats specified by the files added to the settings folder.

The error file doesn't refer to which file in the settings folder caused the error.
