EVNT.FILE OBJECT ENDED WHEN NO FILE IN THE DIRECTORY

[Mylene Chalut]

Hello guys ! 

I am trying to do something really simple : Start a JOBP when there is one or multiple files added in a windows folder. 

As long as there are files in the folder, the JOBP gets triggers.  However, when there are no files in the folder, the EVNT.FILE ends with status ENDED_OK and I get the following message in the LOG report : 

Error in function checkFileChanged(): the system cannot find the file specified '\\fld6filer\BrsSystems\JobApp\Dev\mlegaultpython\file_exists_test\*'.  Error '18', error description: 'There are no more files.'.
2025-02-25 10:43:22 - U00011166 System message: ''

I was under the impression that the object would execute every 2 minutes even if there were not files in the folder. Can somebody please help me with this ?

Thanks a lot in advance :-)

Ok so for time being, I created a Time Event that runs every 2 minutes and triggers my File Event if it is not already activated.  I hope I will be able to make this work only with the File Event to avoid supporting 2 objects for nothing.

I am waiting for your answer ;-)

You need to remove file changed in file option keep it blank, then in right pane i.e time parameters you can select repeatedly option and time interval

I tried that !
I get the following error message :
Runtime error in object 'EVNT.FILE.BR_FILE.EXISTS.MYLENE', line '00001': Event type is not 'Console'

What does that mean ?
