Field | Description |
---|---|
Base Directory | Pathname of the source base directory on the local file system of the execution context, where the source files reside. |
Filename | Name of the source files collected from the sub directory. Regular expressions according to Java syntax applies. For further information see https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/util/regex/Pattern.html. Example - Filename To match all log filenames beginning with |
Sub Directories | Name of the sub directory from where files will be collected (the Base Directory will always be a match). Note! When input is provided from a  forwarding agent, you must change the sub directories pattern to exclude the DR_TMP_DIR file by entering for example the following: (?!DR_TMP_DIR$)(.*) |
Compression | Compression type of the source files. Determines if the agent will decompress the files before passing them on into the workflow.
|
File Limit | The maximum number of files processed in each batch. |
Byte Limit | The maximum number of bytes processed in each batch. Note! Note that limits are set per directory, that is, the batch will be closed when the last file of a sub directory has been processed even if the File Limit or Byte Limit closing condition has not been reached. |
If enabled, the source files are moved to the automatically created subdirectory | |
Inactive Source Warning (hours) | If the specified value is greater than zero, and if no file has been collected during the specified number of hours, the following message is logged: The source has been idle for more than <n> hours, the last inserted file is <file>. |
If enabled, the files will after collection be moved to the sub directory specified in the Directory filed. If  is selected the file will be moved from the directory The fields Prefix, Suffix and Keep (days) will be enabled when the  are set. Information about them will follow. | |
If enabled, the source files will after the collection be renamed and kept in the source directory from which they were collected. If using Move Before Collecting the files will after the renaming be moved from the Note! If Rename  is enabled, the source files will be renamed in the current directory (source or | |
If enabled, the source files will, after successfully being processed, be removed from the source directory (or from the DR_TMP_DIR directory if  is used). | |
If enabled, the source files will remain in the source directory. | |
Destination | Pathname relative to the current position of a file where the source files will be moved. This field is only enabled if Move to is selected. |
Prefix/Suffix | Prefix and/or suffix that will be appended to the beginning respectively the end of the name of the source files. These fields are only enabled if Move to to or Rename is selected. |
Keep (days) | Number of days to keep source files after the collection. In order to delete the source files, the workflow has to be executed (scheduled or manually) again, after the configured number of days. Note, a date tag is added to the filename, determining when the file may be removed. This field is only enabled if Move to or Rename is selected. After each successful execution of the workflow the agent will search recursively under Base Directory for files to remove. |
If this is disabled the output files will automatically be divided in multiple UDRs per file. The output files will be divided in suitable block sizes. |
