Question & Answer
Question
Some files in the source folder are not getting processed by IBM Content Collector (ICC) for Files. How do I check if these files may already have been processed before? Were there some flags set by ICC in the FSC Post Processing Task?
Cause
When browsing these files in Windows explorer, I cannot tell if the files are already processed by ICC.
Answer
In New Technology File System (NTFS), which is part of Microsoft operating systems, an alternate data stream (ADS) set at the file system layer is provided so that extra information can be persisted with the file. Content Collector sets postprocessing flags on the secondary streams of the collected files. This is the default.
To check if the file has these postprocessing flags set, issue the following command in a command window:
dir /r
For example, if the flag Mark file as processed and Mark file as captured are set in the FSC Post Processing task, then the output of "dir /r" will look like the following:
> dir /r
Volume in drive C has no label.
