Subdirectory Monitor

The Subdirectory Monitor task allows you to monitor subdirectories within a Directory.

The Subdirectory Monitor task also outputs variables like 'TaskTitle::SubdirectoryNames' and 'TaskTitle::SubdirectoryPaths'. These variable contains the list of all subdirectories that satisfy the monitoring criteria.  The format of this variable is #subdir1^#subdir2^#subdir3, where subdir1, subdir2, subdir3 are the names/paths of the subdirectories that have been modified.  You can use this variable directly as the folder filter in other tasks (such as: copy, ftp, delete), to process only these subdirectories.

Directory
Enter the directory where your files are located.

Subdirectory name filter
Enter the subdirectory name filter for the files you wish to copy  using the following wildcard rules. This field also supports dynamic variables.  Using dynamic variables, you can select a file based on current date/time.

Task To Run
Select the desired task to run, if any of the selected criteria are met.  If you want to use this task in a chain for conditional processing, select 'None'.  You can also select multiple tasks, to run in sequence, or to run simultaneously. To run tasks in sequence, use taskTitle1|taskTitle2|taskTitle3. To run tasks simultaneously, use taskTitle1&taskTitle2&taskTitle3.

Options
The Task will run, if any of the following selected criteria are satisfied.  You can select 1 or more criteria.
1)  Subdirectories which satisfy the name criteria exists
2)  Subdirectories which satisfy the name criteria, as well as total size of files contained in them.  The file size is entered in kb, but you can specify 0.001 to 1000000 kb.
3)  Subdirectories which satisfy the name criteria, as well as date modification criteria
4)  Total number of files in subdirectory is greater or less than a certain value.  This option does not update any of the dynamic variables.
