Summary:
Looking for a way to support regular expressions with File Watcher Jobs
Instructions:
Regular expressions are supported with File Watcher jobs when the System Agent is at least at release R11.3 SP4 INCREMENTAL 1
For example on Linux, patch RO77796 or higher ( LNX-X86 - CA WA AGENT R11.3 SP4 INCREMENTAL 1 ) has to be installed
To activate this feature, new agentparm.txt setting (filemon.filename.r7regex=true) has been added to support regular expression characters.
Then you have to stop and restart the System Agent
Additional Information:
A typical File Watcher Job might be:
insert_job: TEST_FW1 job_type: FW
machine: machine1
owner: autosys
permission: gx,wx,mx
date_conditions: 0
description: "FW test with regular expressions"
alarm_if_fail: 1
watch_file: "/apps/corgl/corgl_cs1/cs1/data1/fic/???_C[0-9,A-L,N-Z][0-9,A-Z]_*"
watch_interval: 60
Note: This information applies to both UNIX and Windows agent installations.
