The Monitor File object triggers a
Policy when files that you specify in folders and sub-folders have
changed.
Use the Monitor File object to
monitor a file that indicates the completion of a transaction. For
example, there are nightly transfers to your Action Server, and
when the transfer is complete a file called "COMPLETE" is written
to the folder. The Monitor File object can automatically trigger a
Policy that processes all the files in the folder when the
"COMPLETE" file appears.
To configure the Monitor File object
you need to know the name of the file that you are monitoring and
what criteria on that file will trigger the Policy.
