Check Files Locked
Description
The Check Files Locked action loops over a list of files to check if they are locked by another process.
The way that it verified is by renaming a file to the same name as before. On certain operating systems (MS Windows systems in particular) this operation will fail if the file is locked.
Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
Workflow action name | The name of the workflow action. Note: This name has to be unique in a single workflow. A workflow action can be placed several times on the canvas, however it will be the same workflow action. |
Settings: Include subfolders | Enable this option to also check files in subfolders of specified folders |
Settings: Copy previous results to args? | Pass the result rows of a previous workflow action execution to the files list of this action. |
Files/Folders | Here you can list a series of files or folders with wildcards. |
The wildcards are Java Regular expressions. For instance .*\.txt would check any file with a .txt extension. | Please note that you can use the Delete/Edit buttons to edit the list. You can also use the File/Folder and Wildcard actions right above the list to add new actions, browse for files and so on |
