4 Configure File Watcher Support

The File Watcher utility checks a file system location that you specify for data files whose name matches a pattern you specify and loads them into DMW for use in a particular study.

File Watcher can detect and load two types of files:

• SAS—including CPort or XPort formats, a single dataset, or a single dataset in a .zip file.
• Text—including .txt or .csv files that may be contained in a .zip file.
