File triggering

The Launcher can be set to trigger when files are updated or created on UNIX and Windows systems. Triggering on files in the native z/OS® file system is more complex than in the HFS. This is most evident when trying to do file-update triggering because the z/OS operating system, in general, does not maintain update information for files.

Triggering on native file creation or update supports the following native file system file types, depending on the triggering type:

• Sequential files

  Example: //'MYUSERID.DATA.INPUT1'

• PDS and PDS/E members

  Example: //'MYUSERID.DATA(INPUT1)'
