In this blog post we present the new features of the File & DataManager (FDM) which are available in version BatchMan 5.1.1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New FDM Operation: REST Service<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The agent opens an http connection to send an http call (e.g. REST) according to the non-SAP connection. The response object can be evaluated and the call can be repeated up to an expected value or aborted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New FDM filename variable: REGEX (expression,value)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you want to cut the file extension, you can do this with -> at least assuming that the file extension is 3 characters long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the length of the file extension is unknown, this will not work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With regex you can now do various things, e.g. you can omit the file extension (the dot).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C:\\IT0051\\SD\\TTC\\archive\\REGEX(^[^.],)–
