Are you certain they all need to be processed simultaneuously? A Sequence job with the Loop stages could easily cycle through them one at a time. Or, since the metadata is the same, perhaps cat whatever is there together and process them as one larger file?

Be careful, however, if you copy/paste make sure you notice that they are defined in two areas - you'll need to get both for them to work properly. If you are taking everything, just copy the entire file.

Code: Select all

find /yourpath -name 'AREA-*.CSV' -ctime +180 -exec rm {} \; -print

All versions ship with an 'Install and Upgrade Guide', the gory details of how everything would be done are there. Mostly it's just a matter of setting up a new 8.x server, exporting all of your 7.x jobs and then importing them into the new server. You really shouldn't have to change anything about ...
