Scenario:Detecting a File Added to a Watched Directory on a z/OS® System

Some users need to access a report file that is expected to be transferred to a location that only administrators can access. The sample values in the table configure Sterling Connect:Direct® File Agent to perform the following processing:

  • Monitor the watched data set called EASTERN.Q1.REPTS.
  • Submit a default Process called DEFPROC. The default Process is created to copy a file detected in the watched data set to a specified location for access by users.
    Tab Field Sample or Description
    File agent Watched directories Type EASTERN.Q1.REPTS to specify the fully qualified MVS data set name to monitor.
      Default Process Type DEFPROC, the member name for the Process in DMPUBLIB.
    Note: If no default Process is specified and the file does not match a rule, then no processing occurs.
