FILE_SPECIFICATION - UEM Manager configuration option
Description
The FILE_SPECIFICATION option specifies the name of the file whose presence should be detected and monitored by UEM.
Additionally, FILE_SPECIFICATION also can specify an absolute path or a path relative to the working directory defined in the UEM Server's component definition.
Note
FILE_SPECIFICATION is valid only for events with an EVENT_TYPE of FILE.
A Stonebranch Tip
If a Windows UEM Manager has issued a request to monitor an event on a UNIX system, and a complete path to the file is specified file specification, a leading space must be added to the path name and it must be enclosed in double quotes.
For example, if the UEM Server is asked to look for a file named file.exe in /home/user, the value specified for filespecification must be "/home/user/file.exe". This requirement is a result of the way that command line arguments are read by a Windows UEM Manager, where a forward slash ( / ) also can be used as a command option prefix. The leading space allows the string beginning with the / to be interpreted as a option value.
