FT job type picking up undefined path

Products

• CA Workload Automation AE

Issue/Introduction

A Filetrigger job executes and there is a subdirectory that is being searched that is not part of the watch_file in the job definition. 

Example:

The current watch_file:  /tmp/CA/encrypted/zone/auto_pmp/file

but /tmp/CA/encrypted/zone/auto_pmp/archivedir is being searched

 

Environment

WAAE 11.3.6 and above

Resolution

Set the watch_file_recursive: false in the FT job definition otherwise subdirectories can be searched. This attribute specifies that the job monitors for file activity in the specified directory only. This is the default.
