Can you create a project to FTP a file to a remote server, and if the project fails for any reason, (after a few retries) FTP to another FTP server

This could be easily done by either calling separate modules or reading a Spreadsheet or Database Table for your IP addresses:

Pseudo code for Calling separate modules (assuming you only have 2 IP Addresses):

Code: Select all

<Module Main <dependsOn=FTPMain,FTPAlternate>
   ...Print Success Message (If ftpError eq 0)
   ...Email Notification (If ftpError gt 0)
</Module>

<Module FTPMain>
   <setVariable label="Set ftpError" version="1.0" name="ftpError" value="0" />
   <FTP ResourceID=<1st IP Address> ..... onError="setVariable:ftpError=1">
   ...
   ...Do something if ftpError=0...
</Module>

<Module FTPAlternate executeOnlyIf="${ftpError} gt 0>
   <setVariable label="Set ftpError" version="1.0" name="ftpError" value="0" />
   <FTP ResourceID=<1st IP Address> ..... onError="setVariable:ftpError=1">
   ...
   ...Do something if ftpError=0...
</Module>

The Pseudo Code for reading the IP Addresses from a Spreadsheet or Database would entail your use of multiple projects.. using a callProject within a loop reading the records. If you need help with this, please let me know... I have some examples.

Hope this helps...
