File Trigger

It is possible to monitor an operation performed on a specified file and automatically run a job based on the detected operation. This function is called the 'File Trigger.' With this function, users can use the file operation to trigger file transfer or another operation.

Figure 2.44 File Trigger

To perform monitoring using the File Trigger function, specify the conditions of monitoring in the File Trigger Information.

As one of the conditions for monitoring, if you specify Monitor Subdirectories as 'Yes (Y),' you can include the sub folders under the specified folder as targets for monitoring.

You can specify the File Trigger Information on the HULFT Management Console or by running a command.
