Assure DQ

In a file monitor job, can you wildcard part of the path?  I'm trying to monitor when a file is dropped in:

Infogix_Assure_Common/data/report...

but the files reside in folders in this path, based on control entity name.  

ex. Infogix_Assure_Common/data/report/control entity name/report_I_want.rpt

Since I don't care what control entity name and just want all reports, is there a way to just look for anything dropped in:

Infogix_Assure_Common/data/report/*

I can't seem to get a wildcard to work.

Thanks for the help.

Wild card characters in the file path are not supported by Assure, and unfortunately, a File Monitor also doesn't check sub-directories of the target directory for files. If you'd like, we can create an enhancement request for this functionality to be included in a future release.

Ryan and Jodeen:

It is true that the base directory specification for a file monitor source cannot have wildcard characters - it must reference a full starting directory. However, the file monitor source CAN process subdirectories via the include and exclude filters. Taking Jodeen's example of Infogix_Assure_Common/data/report/*, this could be set to search sub folders as follows:

Base directory: Infogix_Assure_Common/data/report

Includes Filter: **/*.txt

Excludes Filter **/notthese/*

The above would search all subfolders of the base directory for .txt files (including the base directory itself), excluding the files in any subfolder called "notthese"
