This action has been applied 1 time and will not be applied again.) in Linux/AIX Server, Please cross-check if any modification is required in action script

It looks like you may need { } instead of ( ) around your if and else conditional statements.

Also, else would not need a condition statement. Only if and else if use conditional statements.

You should use a prefetch with size/sha1/sha256 instead of a download so that the files can be verified they haven’t been corrupted by the client. (this doesn’t relate to a functional issue, just a recommendation)
