Interface FileModifiedTrigger

All Superinterfaces:

Action, AgentAction, java.lang.Cloneable, FileStableTrigger, FileTrigger, RuntimeDataMap, java.io.Serializable, SingleFileParameter, Trigger

public interface FileModifiedTrigger
extends FileTrigger, FileStableTrigger, AgentAction

Fires when specified files and directories are modified. The file modified trigger periodically scans, as defined by setPollingDelay(), the appropriate file system and returns all files and directories that have been modified and match the file criteria.

To clarify, once a file modified trigger is enabled and running as part of a job, it scans for specified files and directories that have a timestamp newer than the moment when the file modified trigger was enabled.

Furthermore, a file modified trigger detects newly-created files, because their timestamps are newer than the moment when the file modified trigger was enabled.

The File Modified Trigger returns its result in the same format as the File Exist Trigger. For more information on accessing and using the result, see FileExistTrigger.
