Use of File Trigger jobs on Agent Groups

[Nolan Pillay]

Is it possible to use File Trigger jobs when scheduling using Agent Groups opposed to a normal agent ?
Each file trigger job only allows for selection of an agent not an agent group when creating it.
Is there a solution for using file trigger jobs with agent groups ?

Hi,
The file trigger jobs are very specific to agent due to file being created/update on local host.  As of now, only command jobs (UNIX, Windows) and DB (new R12.2) can use Agent groups.

Thank you,

We've done something like this using ESP: Build a file dep A on server A, build file dep. B on server B, build a job, C, that waits on both.  Then add tasks, such that if A is triggered, then B gets bypassed or forced and C runs, and if B gets triggered, then A gets bypassed or forced and C runs. 

Just a thought!
