Hi All,
I have two text files which have the job log of two respective jobs say Job1,Job2, in a placed in a folder. I am using another job for reading these log files everytime after the jobs are exceuted. I am trying to use the file pattern option in the sequential file, and tried giving the path of the files where they are placed like C:\folder\*.txt.
If am doing view data it is giving me the error:

Can I pls know what is setting filename in APT_FileImportOperator ?
Pls help me how to proceed in this regard.
Thanks!

Couldn't find any files on host with pattern "*.txt".

Check if there are any files with .txt extension available or not, that seems to be the problem. And, hope you are not specifying a path on your client machine, the URL has to be for a server directory.

Hi Sud,
Thanks for the reply!
There are .txt files in the path specified and the system I am presently working this job is the server system itself,and I gave the path of the same windows machine.

from this error what i gather is that you should atleast provide part of the file name
example : C:\folder\partfile*.txt
