tWaitForFile doesn't work as expected on UNIX

[mra802003]

Hi,

I created a simple job using 'tWaitForFile' and 'tFileCopy'. The file watcher is set to run infinitely and iterate every 10 seconds. If matching file arrives in the directory, the file gets copied to destination directory using 'tFileCopy'. This job is working as expected on Windows. 

Upon deploying this job to UNIX env and executing the ".sh" file, the job doesn't even pick the file from the directory. The 'ps' command shows the job is running continuously as expected. Can anyone help in this regard?

Thanks

Meanwhile, I was trying another approach as tinfiniteloop -> twaitforfile -> tCopyFile (on Windows)

The moment I manually copy the file in the source directory, the job fails with the following error:

The basic setting for

1. tinfiniteloop "Wait at each iteration = 1000ms"

2. twaitforfile "Time between iterations = 1s", "Max number of iterations = 1" and "Trigger action when - a file is created". The file mask is "*.txt".

Any idea what would cause this error?

Can you share the tfilecopy configuration?

Well, I can't try for the moment.
What if you change the delay of tInfiniteLoop for example to 1300ms?

As you have introduced a tInfiniteLoop you may also replace tWaitForFile by tFileExists (if you know the name) or tFileList. You should have the expected result.

Thanks, it worked using tFileList approach.
