APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Sequential file stage file pattern option does not allow any valid shell expression, in Bourne shell syntax, that generates a list of file names. This feature is documented.
Local fix
This fix is included in 8.0.1 fixpack 3
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users running any version of Information Server using the sequential file stage. **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Commands can be given in the file pattern option by surrounding it the back tick character like: `find /tmp -name *.txt` but this approach fails if the command returns too many files. **************************************************************** RECOMMENDATION: Install patch JR31849 and set APT_IMPORT_FILE_PATTERN_CMD. This change is included in 8.1 Fix Pack 1. ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
Added environment variable APT_IMPORT_FILE_PATTERN_CMD. When set it will allow a command to be entered without back ticks andinternally will avoid using the ls and cat commands which will fail with large numbers of files.
