*1	:	On the HULFT Manager Management Console, you can enter a string of up to 60 characters. When the destination host is HULFT Ver.8.1 or higher, the size of the string that you entered will be checked based on the code set that is set in HULFT at the connection destination. When HULFT checks and confirms that the size of the string meets the condition that is given in the remarks, the characters that you entered will be saved in HULFT.
*2	:	This field is displayed when HULFT Manager connects to HULFT Ver.8.1 or higher.
*3	:	The total length of the strings that you specify for Path to Directory (DIRECTORYNAME) and File Name (TARGETFILENAME) must be within 200 bytes.
*4	:	For the HULFT Manager Management Console, click a setting value on the pulldown list.
*5	:	Count as 1 character, with case ignored.

Explanation of each field

This section explains the fields to be specified in the File Trigger Information. The parenthesized strings are the names of each field and you can use them as field tags in a parameter file when registering the information.

Trigger ID (TRGID)

ID that identifies the file to be monitored

Comment (COMMENT)

Comment for the trigger ID

Path to Directory (DIRECTORYNAME)

Folder that contains the file to be monitored

This field is displayed when HULFT Manager connects to HULFT Ver.8.1 or higher.

You cannot use a regular expression or a wild card for this field.

File Name (TARGETFILENAME)

Name of the file to be monitored

Depending on whether HULFT Manager connects to HULFT Ver.8.1 or higher or to HULFT lower than Ver.8.1, the contents to be specified differ as follows:

• When HULFT Manager connects to HULFT Ver.8.1 or higher

  Specify a file name.

  Use a regular expression or a wild card to monitor multiple files at the same time.

  When you use a wild card, you must specify 'No (N)' for Use Regular Expression (REGEX).

• When HULFT Manager connects to HULFT lower than Ver.8.1

  Specify the file name with a full path.

  You can use an asterisk (*) for the file name. Entering an asterisk (*) allows you to monitor more than one file at the same time.

  An asterisk (*) can be used for the file name, but not for the folder name.

  For example, an entry such as 'C:\*\TEST.txt' is not allowed.

  A file name with an asterisk (*) that exceeds 200 bytes in a full path is exempted from monitoring.

Job ID (JOBID)

The ID of the job to be started when HULFT detects creation, deletion, or modification of a file

Monitor Subdirectories (SUBDIRECTORY)

Monitoring of subfolders

This field is displayed when HULFT Manager connects to HULFT Ver.8.1 or higher.

Specify whether to monitor subfolders.

• Yes (Y)

• No (N)

Omitting this field sets 'No (N).'

Use Regular Expression (REGEX)

Use of a regular expression to specify the file name

This field is displayed when HULFT Manager connects to HULFT Ver.8.1 or higher.

Specify whether to use a regular expression to specify the file name.

• Yes (Y)

• No (N)

Omitting this field sets 'No (N).'

Monitor Creation (CREATE)

Monitoring for the creation of a file

Specify whether to monitor for the creation of a new file.

• Yes (Y)

• No (N)

Omitting this field sets 'Yes (Y).'

Monitor Deletion (DELETE)

Monitoring for the deletion of a file

Specify whether to monitor for the deletion of a file.

• Yes (Y)

• No (N)

Omitting this field sets 'Yes (Y).'

Monitor Modification (MODIFY)

Monitoring for the modification of a file

Specify whether to monitor for the modification of a file.

• Yes (Y)

• No (N)

Omitting this field sets 'Yes (Y).'

Monitoring Method (TYPE)

Definition when monitoring for modification

Specify how HULFT determines that the file was modified.

Time Stamp (T):

Determine whether the file has been modified based on the time stamp

File Size (S):

Determine whether the file has been modified based on the file size

Omitting this field sets 'Time Stamp (T).'

Check File Occupancy (FILECHECK)

Checking file occupancy

Specify whether to check if the file has been used by any other processes or applications.

• Yes (Y)

• No (N)

Omitting this field sets 'Yes (Y).'

When you specify 'No (N),' you must specify 'No (N)' for Wait File Availability (FILECHECKWAIT).

Wait File Availability (FILECHECKWAIT)

Behavior of HULFT when the checking file occupancy fails

Specify whether to have HULFT wait until the application can confirm the availability or to have the attempt end at the time when the application fails in checking file occupancy.

• Yes (Y)

• No (N)

You can specify either 'No (N)' or 'Yes (Y)' for this field when you specify 'Yes (Y)' for Check File Occupancy (FILECHECK).

The setting for this field is disabled and 'No (N)' is automatically set when you specify 'No (N)' for Check File Occupancy.

When you omit this field, this field is set to 'Yes' (Y) if you specify 'Yes' (Y) and 'No' (N) if you specify 'No' (N) for Check File Occupancy, respectively.

Check Interval (INTERVAL)

Interval for checking files

Specify the interval for checking files in seconds.

Activate Monitoring (EXECUTION)

Activation status of the registered trigger ID

Specify whether to make the registered trigger ID a target for monitoring.

• Yes (Y)

• No (N)

Omitting this field sets 'Yes (Y).'

User Name (USER)

Name of the user who starts a job

Spaces before or after the specified name are removed.

When you omit this field, the job is started by the user who started the Observe process.
