Move a file to destination's $BVS$ if file not exists on source

Post by aria »

Dear,

We use versioning (one folder $SBV$ in each folder). Sometimes, we remove files. We want to keep these old files in save folder. So actually, we select "don't do anything" if file exist in destination but not in source. But in the save folder, it start to be a mess. Do you think it's possible to add a "move to versioning folder" if file does not exist anymore in source ? Or is there a way to keep a clean save folder AND keep the old files in the save versioning folder (or anywhere else but the clean save folder) ?

Thanks,
Best regard,

Hi, if you have Versioning set up (enabled) on the profile's Destination, then any file on the Destination that would ordinarily be deleted by action of the profile itself (e.g. because profile is set up as a Mirror & a copy does not now exist on Source) will be Versioned (moved to relevant $SBV$ folder) on the Destination anyway. This is normal behavior regarding Modifications and Deletions by actions of the profile on the side(s) where you have Versioning enabled.

How long such Versioned files are retained (after moving to $SBV$ folder) will depend on the retention settings you set up for Versions. Note that you cannot set different limits for deletions and modifications, nor can you save only deletions (or only modifications) - it is both or neither.

Okay, thinks. Before, when source file was deleted, the rule was to do nothing on destination folder. I thought (wrongly) that the deleted file in destination will not be moved to the $BVS$.

Thank again,
