if File watcher fails

[Shins]

Hi,
We are using CONTROL-M 6.2, and we have set of jobs which run on time base. For each job, we have created a filewatcher which works fine.

We want to implement the following logic as,
if file watcher job fails then a shell script should be called which is avaiable on UNIX server with parameters as job name and date which will update the record in database for respective job.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

If your filewatcher is included in a small script, you can add error test.
If the filewatcher fails use ctmcreate or ctmorder Control-M command to add some jobs with all parameters you need.

FILEWATCHER is a binarie inside <CONTROL_M_AGENT_HOME>/ctm/exe/ responsible to keep the eyes under a directory checking for a file, and monitor if the transfer is completed, so you can use it as a dummy jobs to release a new one if it required a full file in the path.
