File Monitor Control
- I have developed a file monitor control which monitors a certain directory for all .txt files. If the file is present all goes well. If the file is not present I have setup a result which will trigger notification. This notification goes in proportion of remaining files present in that directory. How can I prevent this? I would like to send one email per absent file.
- I cannot see Tracking option under More -> Manage Actions tab in my installation. Is this related to licensing? Please note we recently migrated to 9.1 from 8.4.

Hi Manish,
1. This would depend on how the file monitor is set up and use case, but from the description, the easiest way is to set a validation rule per file (file.txt_indicator = false) and an associated result/result action per validation rule. There are a couple of ways to work this and it would just depend on the use case.
2. This seems to be a license issue and Support should be in touch.

Below is how I have setup the control -
1. Base directory - <Some directory>
2. Includes - *.txt
3. Extract tab - I am extracting FileID and FileName using @filename function
4. Validate tab -
- Validate When - Always
- Validation Check Rule - Using t_contains function to cross check the file name
- When Pass - Invoke subsequent control
- When Failed - I have attached a result which triggers "file not arrived" notification to my email inbox.
Problem Statement - If the base directory has 5 files and the file which I am validating in step 2 above is not present then the 4 notifications are generated stating "file not arrived" and has names of files which are present in the base directory. I have attached a screenshot for better understanding.
