Minimum detected size

Defines the minimum number of bytes transferred before Control-M File Transfer checks if the file is static.

File size information for remote file systems is not supported. On zSeries, iSeries, Tandem, and OS2200 platforms, only file existence is checked.

Time limit

Determines the number of minutes to wait, in the Time Limit field, for a file to reach its minimum detected size and remains static, before the watch fails or determines the specific time, in the Time Limit field, that a file has to reach its minimum detected size and remains static, before the watch fails.

Time limit type

Determines whether the values defined in the Time Limit field are number of minutes to wait or an absolute time.

Maximum file age

Defines the maximum number of years, hours, and/or days that can pass since the watched file was last modified.

For example, 2y3d means that after 2 years and 3 days have passed the file will no longer be watched.

Minimum file age

Defines the minimum number of years, hours, and/or days that must pass since the watched file was last modified.

For example, 2y3d means that after 2 years and 3 days must pass before the file can be watched.

Transfer all matching files

Watches the first matching file with a wildcard and waits until the watching criteria is met, and then transfers all matching files.

The file watch criteria is checked for the first file. The remaining files are transferred without checking.

Variable containing detected file name

Defines the variable name that contains the detected file name.
