File trigger function

HULFT-JPN

7.2.0

HULFT-ENG

8.0.0

The file trigger function is now available. This function monitors operation (creation, deletion, or modification) that is executed for specific files, and automatically executes a job when the function detects the operation. By using this function, you can execute a series of processing from detection of file operation to the next processing (such as interfacing with sending processing).

By using an asterisk (*) to specify files to be monitored, you can monitor multiple files at a time. Note that you can use an asterisk only for file names and you cannot use it for folder names or other items than file names.

Examples of correct use

C:\TEST\*.txt
/home/users/usr1/testdata/*.txt

Examples of incorrect use

C:\*\TEST.txt
/home/users/usr1/*/test.txt

 

This function can monitor files on a file server that uses NAS (Network Attached Storage) or Windows. For details, refer to Support for networked files.
