  • 1.  Uploading files in the Softwarelibrary Attributes are missing

    Posted Mar 02, 2012 09:51 AM

    Hi,

    I use to rollout some files and folders to the client computers the Software library.
    I wrote a batch-file to copy the files to the right place.

    1. I've uploaded the Folder into the SWL

    2. I've created a Task task (package delivery)

    3. I've started the task to "install" the software

    After the Task is finished, all the files are placed into the correct folders but the problem is, all attributes of the files are missing.

    Half of the files are set with the attribute "hidden". How can I prevent the lost of the attributes. 

    Thanks

    I've an new idea. I compress the files and folders with zip and extract all of them at the client!
    Next week, I will test it.

    If there is no program and you're just delivering files:

    1. Create a new Managed Software Delivery policy using the software resource that contains all the files
    2. With the software resource selected, in the Policy Rules/Actions screen, select the Advanced Options button
    3. In the Download tab, tick the radio button for 'Location on destination computer:' and provide the folder path where you want the files downloaded
    4. Your command line can be a dummy command line, or can run a silly batch file (REM Nothing to do here!)
    5. Provide a target and a schedule

    When the software resource runs, it will copy all the files to a folder on the computer.  Since there is no detection rule, all files will be downloaded every time, so run it only as often as the source is updated.

    Hi,

    yu're right. This works fine.

    But the problem still exist. The Attributes of the files (like Hidden) are missing after adding the files into the swl.
    I tried to store the files locally o the ns and not in the swl. but the sam problem.
    My idea is, to compress the files with zip and unpack the files at the client, all attributes should be there.

    After testing, i will give you feedback.
