How to search a file watcher job in Control-M

Question

I have a list of files that are processed by Control-M file watchers, but I am not able to find which file is processed by which file watcher.

How can I search for a control-M file watcher for a specific file?

Answer 1

There is an option in the search tool to select FileWatchers.

In Control-m 8, go to Monitoring, display all jobs, click on "search" and then "advanced".

In "General" you can select "FileWatcher" in "Job Type" drop down menu.

Answer 2

You would have to go through the sysouts I'm afraid, or export all the tables and then grep for the filename you are looking for: e.g. grep -il filenamehere *. It would tell you which table the job is in, and then you would have to go through each .xml to find the job in question. I've written some powershell to search through the .xml to pull out info that I need, so definitely an option.
