The Scanner task scans the input directory for new data input files. When it finds a new data file, it moves the file to the output directory and renames it, adding a timestamp (YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_filename.ext). If Scanner finds multiple files, it processes them one at a time.

What to enter |
|
Input File Path |
Specify the input file data directory where Scanner can find the application's data input file. For UNIX systems, you must place the input file on the same file system as the data file. This file path can be on a NFS Mount. Only use a symbolic link on the same file system. The default is EDCSbd/Input/Application Name (where EDCSbd is your EDX_HOME, the default directory where you installed eaDirect, and Application Name is the name of your eaDirect application). |
|
Input File Name |
Specify the name of your application's data input file. You can use wildcards (*) in the file name. |
|
Output File Path |
Specify the name of the application data directory where you want Scanner to move the data input file. The default is EDCSbd/Data/Application Name (where EDCSbd is your EDX_HOME, the default directory where you installed eaDirect, and Application Name is the name of your eaDirect application) |
