About Text File rules

A Text File rule has three key parts.

Field

Description

Type

Select Text File from the Technical category.

Application Name (Directory)

Enter the name of the Web server directory into which Process Commander places this file when it extracts the file from the database. Process Commander creates subdirectories specific to the RuleSet and version to hold the extracted text file.

File Name

Enter the name you choose for this file. Choose a name that is valid for both UNIX and Windows files. Use only lowercase letters.

File Type (extension)

Enter an extension for this type of file, with no period. For example enter css for Cascading Style Sheets, js for JavaScript, or htm for (static, pure) HTML. Enter htc for Dynamic HTML (DHTML) files.

AdvancedThe list of Windows file types that you can enter here is defined through a standard map value rule named Rule-File-Text.RuleFileTextTypes. You can add to this list by overriding that rule.

For general information about this form see Completing the new rule dialog box. For general information on the Save As form, see How to enter rule keys using Save As.

Rule resolution

When searching for text file rules, the system filters candidate rules based on a requestor's RuleSet list of RuleSets and versions.

Time-qualified and circumstance-qualified rule resolution features are not available for Text File rules. The class hierarchy is not relevant to rule resolution of text file rules.
