A process to monitor UNIX directory start DS by File Name

Post by dmarchba »

We would like to have the following capability:

A process that would monitor a directory on an external UNIX System, for incoming data files.

Depending on the File Name start a DataStage Job to process the file.

The Process is to run continually.

There is a WaitForFile stage in sequence jpbs, you can create a master sequence and use a waitforfile activitiy stage and kick your main job/sequence
Thanks,
Chad
