How to trigger an event when a file is created.

Hi!
I need labview to wait until a file is created in a certain folder (by other program) and then perform a task.
Is this possible?
I have no idea how to implement it.
Thank you!
Solved!

File System Watcher does what you want if you don't want to poll.
I can't remember where I found this VI but attached is an example of it working.

If 10 out of 10 experts in any field say something is bad, you should probably take their opinion seriously.

  • How to trigger a event when WBS gets changed in Cj02

    Hello,
    I have a requirement where I need to send create an idoc and send the idoc to external system when WBS is created or changed.  Currently, I have the following setup:
       - I have created a YBUS2054 as a subtype of BUS2054 using SWO1
       - YBUS2054 has been delegated to BUS2054
       - created an CHANGED event in the YBUS2054. This event is implemented and then released
       - created a type linkage (object type=YBUS2054, event=CHANGED, receiver type null, and receiver function module = zz_create_wbs_idoc) using SWETYPV. This function is supposed to create an idoc when CHANGED event occurs. I just don't know how to trigger the event to occur.
       - all the port, define idoc type, logical system, and etc are setup
       - when I try to create an entry in "Event for Chagne Document" using SWEC with change doc object=PROJ, business object type = YBUS2054, with on change, I get "Key for change doc object PROJ and business object type YBUS2054 are incompatible".
    I tried various configurations, and I was not successfully in creating an event on CHANGED
    can you please advise what I am missing in getting the changed event to trigger?
    Thank you in advance,
    Shawn

    Hi,
    If the change doc doesnt exist, check if you can create an event using BSVW.
    Also use the event log to see if there are other sap standard events happening.
    I checked the package belonging to CJ02 to see if there is something useable, but didn't find anything: CN_PSP_OPR
    If there are no sap standard ways to get an event, you'll have to find a badi/enhancement spot and include some coding to start the event using fm SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT.

  • Figuring out how to trigger an event when a component is visible on screen?

    Hey guys, I got this arraycollection i'm setting on TAB 1 of
    my tab navigator. I'm using this array collection as a dataprovider
    for my grid on TAB 2. I dynamically add rows with an AS function
    and that seems to work fine when i click on a button on tab 2.
    However, I want my function to get called everytime i switch
    from tab 1 to tab 2.
    It seems simple enough but some events seem to run the
    function more than once and that probably isn't the most efficient
    way like the render event or updateComplete.

    also, what I'm noticing is if i have:
    -main application Tab Navigator with 2 canvases
    -- Canvas1
    ---componentA
    ---componentB
    --Canvas2
    ---ComponentD
    ---ComponentE
    the show event registers for Canvas1 and 2 but never
    dispatches for the canvas inside of any of the components?? Any
    ideas?

  • How to trigger a event when there in any change in category in the service request

    Hello Experts
                            I need to set Employee responsible dynamically when the exact category is chosen in the service request. i am following a approach to register a function module in the crmv_events so that the event will be called as soon as categorization is changed in service request.I have never configured crmv_events.please guide me its urgent.
    Please tell me if a better approach is available.
    I will award points immediately .Reply as early as possible as its urgent.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Rashmi,
    I would say, instead of doing it from any event function module, do it from web ui bol layer itself.
    Define get P method of category and set event on the value change. Create that same event from event handler and write the code for getting(use FM) and setting emp responsible in that event using bol programming.
    Please let me know if you need the codes for doing all this.
    It would be great if you can paste the the screen shot of the view you are using in web ui.
    Thanks,

  • How to trigger the event when leave current iView

    Hi Expert,
    We have this common senario: when leave current iView(eg, change the menu, close the window etc) we need to notify user whether they want to save current content or not, but I found wdDoExit(in views or coponent controller) can not be triggered
    Is there any event we can use to reside these logic?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,
    William

    How about trying to use the wdDoBeforeAction event?  You can use a flag to keep track of whether or not there is unsaved data, and check it in the above-mentioned event.

  • How to trigger own events?

    How can you create your own events to be triggered?
    For instance, I have an InputStream that I've got through a Socket that's listening for incoming data. I want to signal/trigger an event when data comes in so that the gui (in another class) can take appropriate actions. How can you do this?

    The basic idea is this:
    public interface SockeListener
        void dataEvent(/* pass a parameter if needed.  Often an event interface is added */);
    public class MySocket
         private final List listeners = new ArrayList();
         public void addListener(SocketListener listener)
              listeners.add(listener);
         public void removeListener(SocketListener listener)
              listeners.remove(listener);
         private void triggerEvent()
               for (Iterator i = listeners.iterator(); i.hasNext();)
                    ((SocketListener) i).dataEvent();
    }Check out the PropertyChangeSupport class also.

  • How to trigger an event in the program

    Hi,
    I have a program. The purpose of the program is to retrieve the data matching the selection criteria and downlod the same to a file.
    In the selection screen, I have a parameter called 'EVENT'. Here, user enters some event name. Generally, they enter the 'Background job processing events'.
    So, my requirement is... once the files are successfully downloaded, the program should trigger the 'EVENT' specified in the selection screen at run time.
    Can someone help me in this regard. How to trigger an EVENT in the program. Is there any Function Module or Method available in SAP which triggers the EVENT at runtime.
    And is there any table available in SAP which stores all the events available in SAP. Because, whenever the user enters an EVENT in the selection screen, we should check whether the event is valid or not. So, if there is any table available which has all the events then, it will be easy I guess. or is there any other way to validate the EVENT name.
    Please help me. Thanks in advance,
    Best Regards,
    Paddu.

    Hello Paddu,
    have a look at tables
    - btcsev, btcsed (system events)
    - btcuev, btcued (user events)
    and use function BP_EVENT_RAISE.
    kind regards

  • How to trigger left_click_run event on ALV GRID

    Hiiiiiiii........
    Can any of u please tell me how to trigger left_click_run event on ALV GRID.
         There is an event LEFT_CLICK_RUN and  its a public accessed event. But the problem is , the corresponding  attribute of this event  "EVENT_LEFT_CLICK_RUN" which is needed to registered that event (We need to register our events through a method set_register_events  using table of type cntl_simple_events...) is protect accessed. So I am unable to use that attribute...Could u please tell  me is there any alternative way to register that event.......ANY POSSIBLE WAY?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rams

    I think you should use event selection_changed. Note that you shouldn't allow multiple selection for the tree at the same time, i.e. use: create object g_tree exporting \[...\] node_selection_mode = cl_gui_column_tree=>node_sel_mode_single.
    For more information, see this thread: Urgently required :  cl_gui_alv_tree single_click event...
