Hello!
I need to set Last Modified Time in PutFile however I cannot use
file.creationTime as it is retrieved from either ListFile or GetFile.
I am retrieving files from a folder in the middle of my flow using FetchFile
and passing the absolute path to the files (as ListFile and GetFile have no
input connections).
After FetchFile I retrieve the file metadata with ls - l --time-style=full-iso
which outputs something like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 nifi nifi 60 2020-02-14 14:14:07.000000000 +0000 file.txt
>From this I retrieve all components of the date and time that are needed and
>merge them together with the following:
fileMetadata.6 value:2020-02-14
fileMetadata.7 value:14:14:07.000000000
fileMetadata.8 value:+0000
dateMetadata value:${fileMetadata.6:append('
'):append(${fileMetadata.7:substringBefore('.')})}
Last Modified Time value:${dateMetadata:replace(' ', 'T'):append('
'):append(${fileMetadata.8}):toDate("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ")}
After this I expect the following value for Last Modified Time
2020-02-14T14:14:07 +0000 which should correspond to the format required in
the PutFile processor (yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ).
Instead, after the above I obtain Fri Feb 14 15:10:56 CET 2020 which makes me
think that there is some other transformation taking place which I am not aware
of.
When the above value Fri Feb 14 15:10:56 CET 2020 is used in the Last Modified
Time I get the following error message:
Could not set file lastModifiedTime to Fri Feb 14 15:10:56 CET 2020 because
unparsable date:Fri Feb 14 15:10:56 CET 2020
So I am wondering what I could do to address this issue and if there is another
transformation taking place.
Thanks in advance & all the best
Valentina
