Explanation of Each Field

The following describes the fields that are configured in the File Trigger Information.

For a field for which you select an option from the list, the following shows both the options that are displayed on the screen and the values that are described in the CSV file to be used for Collecting and Distributing System Management Information.

1. File Trigger Information

(A1) Trigger ID

This field specifies the ID to identify the file to be monitored.

(A2) File Name

This field specifies the file to be monitored.

Specify the absolute path.

You can use an asterisk (*) in the file name. If you use an asterisk, you can monitor multiple files at the same time.

Although you can use an asterisk (*) in the file name, you cannot use an asterisk in the directory name. (Example: You can specify /TEST/*.txt, but you cannot specify /*/TEST.txt.)

HULFT does not monitor files whose names are specified with an asterisk (*) and that in absolute path exceed 200 bytes.

(A3) Job ID

This field specifies the ID of the job that HULFT starts when the creation, deletion, or modification of files is detected.

(A4) Monitor Creation

This field specifies the setting for monitoring for creation of new files.

Specify whether to monitor for creation of new files.

Specify whether to wait until file occupancy can be checked, or to end when a failure occurs.

<Table> Setting Values for Wait File Availability
