Archiving the Files in a folder
My requirement is to put all the files from output directory(ATT) to archive directory(archive\) creating a new
folder with datetimestamp(20100212_120014) every time it runs.
where ${IMF_TARGET_DIR} is my base directory.
${IMF_ARCHIVE_DIR} is my Archive directory
IMF_TARGET_DIR=/grid/PowerCenter/stage/r3_dev/outbound/ATRPU # local target file directory
IMF_ARCHIVE_DIR=${IMF_TARGET_DIR}/archive # archive directory

I have 3 files and a folder called archive\ in my IMF_TARGET_DIR. And I have to keep these 3 files in new
timestamped archive folder. For that my shell script is as below. Andi am getting error as below

Code:
 
2010/02/12 12:01:47 : Running function archive_file 
/grid/PowerCenter/stage/velocity_r3_dev/outbound/ATRPU/ff_pre_sanity_check.bad
2010/02/12 12:01:47 : Running function archive_file 
/grid/PowerCenter/stage/velocity_r3_dev/outbound/ATRPU/ff_pre_sanity_check.out
2010/02/12 12:01:47 : Running function archive_file 
/grid/PowerCenter/stage/velocity_r3_dev/outbound/ATRPU/tgt_atu_rp.bad
2010/02/12 12:01:47 : Running function archive_file 
/grid/PowerCenter/stage/velocity_r3_dev/outbound/ATRPU/IMF_ATRPU_12022010114110.csv
2010/02/12 12:01:47 : ERROR : Failed to archive file 
/grid/PowerCenter/stage/velocity_r3_dev/outbound/ATRPU/IMF_ATRPU_12022010114110.csv

my shell script:
Code:
for file in `find ${IMF_TARGET_DIR} -type f `
do
  FN=`basename $file`
  echo ${FN} 
  # archive the input file after the workflow has completed
    co_call_function "archive_file ${IMF_TARGET_DIR}/${FN}"
done
archive_file()
{
     
    ${DEBUG}
    # local parameters
    local FILE_NAME=$1
      
    # create target system specific archive directory if it does not exist
    co_create_directory ${IMF_ARCHIVE_DIR}/${DATE_TIME} ${OSLOG}
    # archive the delivered data file
    cp ${FILE_NAME} ${IMF_ARCHIVE_DIR}/${DATE_TIME} 1>> ${OSLOG} 2>&1
    
    co_error_check $? "Failed to archive file ${FILE_NAME}"
}

Please help me .. it is very urgent to me.

The problem is that "find" is going to look into that "archive" directory which is in the target directory.

If you look in there, you should see the file IMF_ATRPU_12022010114110.csv.

And your code is treating that like it is in target dir.

Since target dir has nothing but files and that one directory, you could start out with something like
Code:
for file in `find ${IMF_TARGET_DIR} -name archive -prune -o -print `

Unfortunately, this will also place the target dir (ATRPU) in the list of files. I'm not sure how to get rid of this with the find command but you should be able to easily account for this within the body of the for loop or within the archive_file function.
