Expiration is not always a desired action to be performed on files. File management tasks allow you to run custom commands as well.
Note | |
This procedure assumes that you are familiar with file management tasks, and therefore only covers the Action tab where custom settings are configured. |
To create a custom task |
-
Click the File Management Tasks node.
-
Right-click File Management Tasks, and then click Create File Management Task (or click Create File Management Task in the Actions pane). This opens the Create File Management Task dialog box.
-
On the Action tab, enter the following information:
- Type. Select Custom from the
drop-down menu.
- Executable. Type or browse to a
command to run when the file management task processes files. This
executable must be set to be writable by Administrators and System
only. If any other users have write access to the executable, it
will not run correctly.
- Command settings. To configure the
arguments passed to the executable when a file management job
processes files, edit the text box labeled Arguments. To
insert additional variables in the text, place the cursor in the
location in the text box where you want to insert the variable,
select the variable that you want to insert, and then click
Insert Variable. The text that is in brackets inserts
variable information that the executable can receive. For example,
the [Source File Path] variable inserts the name of the file that
should be processed by the executable. Optionally, click the
Working directory button to specify the location of the
custom executable.
- Command Security. Configure the
security settings for this executable. By default, the command is
run as Local Service, which is the most restrictive account
available.
- Type. Select Custom from the
drop-down menu.
-
Click OK.
