Variable

Description

Report File

%FS.REPORT_FILE%

The full path of the report generated by the Generate Report Action, including the file name. This variable can be used in copy/move, OpenPGP, and custom commands that have a failure Event defined, but should not be used for custom command actions that do not have a failure Event defined.)

In some cases, it may be more appropriate to use %FS.REPORT_CONTENT% because this variable represents a copy of the contents of the file rather than a link to the file, which is only good so long as the file exists. For example, since the file will be deleted when EFT stops processing the Event Rule, do not use this variable in email notifications; use %FS.REPORT_CONTENT% instead.
Report Content

%FS.REPORT_CONTENT%

Contents of the report generated by the Generate Report Action. This variable is typically used after creation of an HTML report, in an email notification action, where it is desirable to embed the HTML contents of the report as the email body.
Report File Name

%FS.REPORT_FILENAME%

The name of a report file created by a Generate Report action. This variable is typically used after creation of a PDF report file, in an email notification, to provide the destination path for the report file after a Copy/Move action deposits it in a more permanent location.
Virtual Path

%FS.VIRTUAL_PATH%

Virtual location of the file (See a list of uses for this variable below.)
Physical Path

%FS.PATH%

Physical location of the file
File Change

%FS.MONITOR_OPERATION%

File change that triggered the Event (added, removed, etc.) Used in Folder Monitor rules
Virtual Folder Name

%FS.VIRTUAL_FOLDER_NAME%

The structure of the virtual folders
Physical Folder Name

%FS.FOLDER_NAME%

Name of the physical folder
Base File Name

%FS.BASE_FILE_NAME%

Name of the file without the extension

File Extension

%FS.FILE_EXTENSION%

File extension; Takes anything after the last dot (before the extension) and places it into this context variable. (e.g., for document.docx, docx is the value of the variable.) This variable can be used anywhere %FS.BASE_FILE_NAME% can be used.
File Name

%FS.FILE_NAME%

Name of the file with the extension
File Size

%FS.FILE_SIZE%

Size of the file involved in the Event
File CRC

%FS.FILE_CRC%

This variable is only applicable for "Verify Uploaded" events using HTTP and HTTPS protocols.

File Creation Date

%FS.FILE_CREATE_DATE%

Date the file was created, in the format YYYY/MM/DD, e.g., 8/28/2007 (not suitable for file naming because of the slashes)
File Creation Time

%FS.FILE_CREATE_TIME%

Time the file was created, in the format HH:MM:SS, e.g., 10:01:56 (not suitable for file naming because of the colons)

File Creation Date in ISO8601 format

%FS.FILE_CREATION_DATETIME_ISO8601%

File Creation Date in ISO8601 format

2019-01-14T20:10:19Z

2019-01-14T20:10:19+0500

File Modification Date in ISO8601 format

%FS.FILE_MODIFICATION_DATETIME_ISO8601%

File Modification Date in ISO8601 format

2019-01-14T20:10:19Z

2019-01-14T20:10:19+0500
Virtual Destination Path

%FS.DST_VIRTUAL_PATH%

Virtual destination path of the file involved in the Event
Physical Destination Path

%FS.DST_PATH%

Physical destination path of the file
Physical Destination Folder Name

%FS.DST_FOLDER_NAME%

Physical destination folder
Destination File Name

%FS.DST_FILE_NAME%

Destination file name
Compressed File Physical Path

%FS.COMPRESSED_PATH%

Physical path to the compressed file
Compressed File Name

%FS.COMPRESSED_FILE_NAME%

Name of the compressed file with the extension
Compressed File Base Name

%FS.COMPRESSED_BASE_FILE_NAME%

Name of the compressed file without the extension
