Configuring File Access Data Source Properties

The File Access data source gathers information about each file path entered in the data source properties. A file path may contain a wildcard or be an individual file path and name. A data package is created for each file path in the data source. The file can be local or remote to the Collector, and will use Windows impersonation if credentials are entered on the connection tab of the data source.

Data Package

The data package is matched to the File Access Wizard /Test through the following:

• Server name
• File Path and Name
• Subdirectories option
• Wildcards are used

Sample Data Packet file name:

DataPackage.FileAccess_<server name>_<filepath>_<subdir_option>_<wildcard_option>.Xml
