Using the TimeStamp task

Post by Support_Julie »

The following project is an example of using the TimeStamp task:

Code: Select all

<project name="TIMESTAMP DEMO" mainModule="Main" version="1.0" logLevel="debug">
	<module name="Main">
		<timestamp />
        	<timestamp>
			<format outputVariable="today" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd" />
		</timestamp>
		<ftp resourceId="DEV 53">
			<put sourceFile="/gademo/payroll.xls" destinationFile="/gademo/linoma${today}.xls" />
		</ftp>
		<print>
			<![CDATA[The Current system time is:  ${system.currentTime}]]>
		</print>
	</module>
</project>
The TimeStamp patterns can be found in the GoAnywhere help text, or at https://forum.goanywhere.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=32

In the above example, the variable today is created. This variable can be used in naming a file.
Also the current system time is written to the GoAnywhere job log.
