Search files by actor

To search for files in the Virtual File Systems (VFS) or VFS Views associated with a specific Actor, go to Monitoring → Search file by Actor.

Use the drop-down lists to select:

1. the Cluster (only shown if more than one Cluster is configured)

2. the Actor

3. the VFS or VFS View associated with that Actor

After selecting the Actor and VFS, the corresponding VFS structure appears in the panel on the left.

Click the folder to open the tree and the eye icon to list the files in the results list.

Your search in the folders can be refined by entering the filename in the Search in edit box. Only the files matching the criteria you have entered will be listed.

At the top of the list of results, a toolbar offers different options. Learn how to use it here.

Clicking the icon on the right of the row, the View Metadata and the Mark as unread options are available. Of course, the Mark as unread entry is available only after a file has been read. Selecting the View Metadata entry, a window will appear with the metadata belonging to the file. At the bottom of the window, the Mark as unread button allows you to set the file as not read.

Mark a file as unread

File metadata includes the dates when the file was read. Marking the file as unread resets the first and last read dates and updates the end date to now+EXPIRY AFTER PUT value. These dates are in the Last Read Date and End Date columns. Selecting the Mark as unread entry or button, the Last Read Date column is cleared and a new date is set as End Date. The selection of the Mark as unread button or entry is logged in the centralized log.

Integration flows can be configured to trigger actions when a file is read. When marking a file as unread, it will be restored to its original conditions, i.e. before being read. This means that actions will be triggered again when the marked-as-unread file is read.
