Directory Monitoring and File Watching

Introduction

JobScheduler offers two methods to start jobs and job chains automatically based on the arrival of incoming files.

• Directory Monitoring is used to automatically start jobs when a change occurs within a specified folder. Such changes include events for addition, modification and removal of files. For each event a job is executed that can handle the files associated with this event.
• File Watching is used to automatically start jobs and job chains when files arrive in a specified folder. For each file an order is created that triggers a job chain.
