FileWatcher Configuration File

The FileWatcher configuration file specifies how an input file should be processed, and the directory location for the file after processing is complete.

The location of the FileWatcher configuration file is defined in the Configurator (Configuration Files > File Watcher Configuration File). The default is $MQ_HOME/config/FileWatcher.xml.

When the application is installed, the default configuration is placed in $MQ_HOME/config/FileWatcher.xml. Although it is not recommended, you can relocate this file to any other location relative to $MQ_HOME.

When the application is running, and if any change is made to FileWatcher.xml, it is automatically deployed the next time the file is accessed. Although each instance deployed in a cluster can have different FileWatcher configuration, it is recommended that all servers share the same configuration.
