You can create a file event and use it as a trigger. The file event can check for
various file conditions, such as its existence, size,
or age.
Note: Not all scheduling servers
support file events. Platform Suite for SAS servers do support file
events. The
New File Event button that is
used to create a file event is available only when the scheduling
server supports file events.
To create a file event:
-
In the Schedule window,
select Select one or more triggers for this data query,
and then click New File Event.
-
In the New File Event window, specify or select the file to use for the file event.
-
Select the condition to evaluate the file to make the file event true. For example,
if you selected not exist for the condition,
the file event would be true only if the selected file was not in
the specified location.
-
If needed, specify the
details (such as size or age) about the condition.
