Event Monitor

Hello,
We watched your video and set up the Event Monitor to watch for new files in a directory. When a new file is created, it is configured to execute a specific transform.
When we manually execute the Event Monitor, it works as expected. Otherwise, it repeatedly shows a “Duplicated Event” message and does not execute the transform.

Thank you

Please post Monitor Settings screenshot

Directory monitor can be very confusing.
It is normal to see duplicated events, because quite often data is copied in chunks. 

File is added = waAdded event (File is open and locked for writing)
Chuck Is written  = waModified event
Chuck Is written  = waModified event
Once writing is completed the file is released

There in no "Completed Writing" event.

So what we have to do it to try to open the the file for writing, once successful = copy is completed.

In your case you shoud be able to see "Matched" in the log, let me run some tests in the office, I will get back to you

I've found a problem

Mask is incorrect d is missing. EG: it should be AdvancedAA*.prn ad not AdvanceAA*.prn

AdvancedAAPlus_5_26_2026 2_55_28 PM.prn, AdvanceAA*.prn
 

Yes it is definitely Mask problem

Mine is working
