Event Action Discover File

Use this form to construct an event action that monitors for certain files in a specified directory. This monitoring can be for a single directory or for a directory and all of its sub-directories.

With this form, you can specify several event action parameters that set the locations to be monitored and the files to be "watched for." Possible parameters include these:

  • PATH: (Required) The location of the single or root directory
  • FILTER: (Required) The name of the file being monitored for (can include wildcards to monitor for multiple files)
  • WATCHSUBDIRECTORIES: (Optional) Indicates whether or not the application is to monitor sub-directories of the PATH directory
  • TIMEOUT: (Optional) Indicates how long to monitor for the expected files
  • DEST: Indicates the step to proceed to if the timeout limit is reached
Note: Addition of this event action to an application event handler forces the handler to be asynchronous.
