move file
Hello,
I am trying to move a pdf file to another folder. Everything I try does not work. Has anyone successfully moved a file to another folder in PDM using Dispatch? I am on SW2017 SP5. Below is an example:

Re: move file
I do not the move the PDF but I copy it to another location. I believe the top box should be set to %NameofSelectedFile%.

Re: move file
Hi,
If folder "Production" not exist Dispatch script do not work.
If folder exist - check user/group settings (permisions to move file).
If to add menu command and it will work - the problem in Workflow means.
I tried through menu command - there are no problems.
Can the file type is incorrectly specified or it is corrupt of other application?
Still, check/add extension of "PDF" in settings of adding of files is perhaps necessary and to set them "automatically".
If there are no listed problems, then to try instead of move - copy (as advises Steven), and then if it is necessary - to add to a script "to delete the file".
It precisely shall work.
Also, perhaps instead of %RootFolderPath% there shall be %NameOfCurrentVault% or something else, where there is a "Production" folder?

Re: move file
Hi,
I apologize for the long answer (I was absent).
I have looked at script. He differs from script on picture - an ending - ".pdf"
Here it shouldn't be.
PDF - has to be specified in the conditions of Activation of script.
What line in "During state transition"?
There has to be: %\%.pdf
If there is no it, there is other decision.

Re: move file
Thank you for all the suggestions. I did get to the bottom of this and found out that my Dispatch was not updated from 2016 to 2017 (which introduces the move function). Hopefully, this will help if anyone else forgets to update the dispatch in admin tool.

Hey Jason,
There's a new PDM add-in tool called "Move File Task". It costs less than most games we buy for our phones and brings the ability to move files during transitions using one or more tasks in the PDM admin tool and you don't have to mess with Dispatch.
Check out the video here
Best,
