PCM command for sending pdf report to different directory

[[Jo...]]

I created a report_end bat file below that sends a new pdf report to a network drive for others to look at around the facilty. I put it in the main Inspection folder. No issues other than with IT occasionally.

@echo off
xcopy "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Zeiss\CALYPSO\workarea\results" "Z:\Powertrain\Lab Operations\QUALITY\Reports" /D /E /Y /C
exit

Question: Is there a PCM option to do similar. Grab the pdf report and send it elsewhere to a different directory? I've seen copyFile mentioned and a report_end_pcm.txt file mentioned. I guess I'm looking for the command to actually "send" it.

Thanks in advance.

copyFile("C:\Users\Public\Documents\Zeiss\CALYPSO\workarea\results\NameOfYourReport.pdf", "Z:\Powertrain\Lab Operations\QUALITY\Reports\NameOfYourReport.pdf")

copy your report and paste it in the new folder

Thanks. I just have to add a time stamp or similar somehow so it always copies the last one ran

I tried this and it does work for the exact file name, but not the next run. I could probably delete the old file (from C:\) but would like to leave it. I have to figure out some sort of wildcard that or time stamp that differentiates the files coming from C:\

in my inspection_start_pcm.txt I create a date-/time-variable named DatumFile that I use for naming my report-PDFs. I create it like that:

 

Datum = dateInNumbers()
Zeit = time()
Tag = strElement(1,".",Datum)
if len(Tag) == 1 then
    Tag = text("0",Tag)
endif
Monat = strElement(2,".", Datum)
if len(Monat) == 1 then
    Monat = text("0",Monat)
endif
Jahr = strElement(3,".", Datum)
Stunde = strElement(1,":",Zeit)
Minute = strElement(2,":",Zeit)
Sekunde = strElement(3,":",Zeit)
ZeitF = Stunde+"_"+Minute+"_"+Sekunde
DatumFile = Jahr+Monat+Tag+"__"+ZeitF

Where I create the path and the name of my PDFs, I do it like: mypath+"\"+DatumFile+".pdf"

when you do it similar, and then use that variable in your copyFile()-command, it will allways take the actual report:

vReportName=DatumFile+".pdf"

copyFile("C:\Users\Public\Documents\Zeiss\CALYPSO\workarea\results\vReportName", "Z:\Powertrain\Lab Operations\QUALITY\Reports\vReportName")

Great Jens thanks! I will give it a try!
