hi all,
i have a problem
i'm doing archiving of files from directory with delete files option = yes,
the thing is when archive schedule is runing the second time and finds
0 files in that dir it generates error 8 which is not what i want, (i have
a script that sends sms and email on managers mobile when error code 8
appears, pretty dumb ... but ...), ok so i put file called safe into the
directory and exclude.archive /directory/safe is the way it should
be done, right ? ... i'll move on now i think you are following me .. :-)
the all other files are having the same extension and are archived via
special managemnt class which is mentioned in command line
wich executes the archive procedure,
the error is

Archive of /directory/ failed with code 4
ANS1115W File '/directory/safe' excluded by Include/Exclude list

i cannot put directive /directory/*.ext to archive files via extension
name coz there are a lot of them so "expression list to big" error rise up,

i know that procedure wants to archive this file coz of /directory/ path
destination
but exclude.archive is preventing this, right ?

how to get rid of this error and how to keep safe file intact in this
directory ?

big thanks in advance.
