Date-Based Folder Path

This task takes the entered date field on the Repository Document and uses it to generate the parent folder path for the document. This mimics how Alfresco stores its data in the filesystem.


Configuration

To use this task go to the task tab in your job. Select the task from the drop down and click the plus circle to configure the task. Click done after making any changes to save.

Condition check

It will execute the task when the condition's result is 'true', 't', 'on', '1', or 'yes' (case-insensitive), or run on all conditions if left empty. This condition is evaluated for each document, determining whether the task should be executed based on the specified values.

Example: If I only want to run this task for PDF documents I would use the expression: equals('#{rd.mimetype}',"application/pdf")

Repository Document Field

The field to use for the folder path. This can be any date field.

Pattern

The pattern used to break down the date into a folder path.

The default is /yyyy/M/dd/kk/mm/ss/. In this case, kk is used for hours.


Examples

In the following example for a document file.txt that was last modified on April 12, 1999, if you set the field to used the modified date '#{rd.modifieddate}' and the date is 1999-04-20T12:01:23, then your path with the default pattern will be:
/1999/4/20/12/01/23/file.txt
