I do apologise Alex, it is indeed a Folder/File Availability test, with details: Translate Macros: Yes (checkbox selected) File or Folder Name: \\theFull\path\TradeSummary_%yyyy%-%mm%-%dd-[1d]%.csv Action Profile: Send email with attachment of the file that was tested if it exists. So I understand t...

Hello Alex, Sorry I should have mentioned the file name is in the format such as filename_2009-03-23.csv on the date of 2009-03-24 filename_2009-03-24.csv on the date of 2009-03-25 or filename_yyyy-mm-(the previous day).csv What would the macro be for this please? Thanking you in advance for your ti...

Hi,
I am not receiving an email when this macro is used

filename_%yyyy%-%mm%-%dd[-1d]%.csv

I am receiving the following message in the email:
Error: Attachment file not found

What is the correct format for the filename please?

Thank you,
Grant

Hi,
I would like to check whether these macro formats are correct for file / folder existence checks please:

*%dd[-1d]%%mm%%yyyy%*

*%ddmm[-1m]%*

*%dd[-1d]%%mm%%yyyy[-1y]%*

*%dd[-1d]%%mm[-1m]%*

*%yyyymmdd[-1d]%*

Thank you

Is this the same Windows2003 system where HostMonitor 7.72 cannot check the page? or you are using different system? This was on a different system. Could you please check page content using your web browser on the system where test fails (IE menu View->Source)? The source is the same as on the dif...

I have Agent Name set to Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0)

HostMonitor v7.72 Operating System: Windos Server 2003 Platform: 64Bit server Test Purpose: If the web page has expected text existing in it then the test passes. Problem: This test is always failing, even though the text I am checking for does indeed exist. Am I doing something incorrectly, please?...

Alex which forum do you prefer for this type of question please, so I know better for next time? I have a file existence test that is failing despite my scheduling the file existence test to run 45 minutes after the timestamp I have seen from DIR listings for previous files generated. Some of these ...

Thank you I will try this :) But I am worried that now I have hundreds of tests that are using incorrect macro syntax for file checks. I am using the macro in this style for a file check: Example: C:\{path}\%yyyymmdd[-1d]%_filename.txt Must this also be in the following format please? C:\{path}\%yyy...

I have tried using macro %%yyyy%%mm%%dd%% as part of a filename in the Email Action Properties "Attach File" field, but this does not seem to work. For example "C:\tempdir\%%yyyy%%mm%%dd%%_FileLog.txt" The online instructions do not say this is possible, but it would be useful fo...

Hello, Some time ago we had some concerns about the reliability of the Ping test, FTP test and also the URL Request and have written our own external C# application to integrate with HostMonitor testing. I would like to try to understand a little about why our tests have given fewer false alerts and...

Thank you, yes it was my mistake, the it was necessary for me to use the hostname with \\prefix.
The test works fine with macro and wild card alongside.

I am using syntax as follows: \\{Directory}\{Path}\%yyyymmdd[-1d]%*EQU.zip with intention to detect whether file exists with name such as 20081103-TRY-AGAIN-EQU.ZIP Where the date in the filename is yesterday's date. In test method I have selected "Translate Macros". I have done a Windows ...

My results came back sonner than expected :) In Test properties I have not set anything for "Connect as" field for both of these tests. I am using Connection Manager to store the details of the server I am connecting to: - Resource (UNC): \\{hostname} - Server or Domain: {hostname} - Login...
