Hi,

I am trying to use a condition that checks the contents of a file and if the contents do not match the name of the computer, then do not run the job. The condition checks the file, correctly determines the file does not contain the name of the computer, but then continues to run the job. I am using Visualcron 5.1.6. Please find below the conditions.xml file and some of the log entries from this job.

Please let me know if any extra information is needed.

Cheers,
Spencer

Perhaps it is something wrong with the Credential that you use. Please use the File read Task together with your Credential to verify that you both can read the file and that it works.

Thanks for your reply. I should have also noted that I changed the file content to be the "match" and it logged a successful match. If you notice in the log, it says "NoMatch" but then uses the "ActionContinue". It should be using the "ActionExit" step on NoMatch.

After some further tickering, updating to .NET 3.5, and deleting temp files - the problem seems to have gone away.

Not sure what the fix was but no longer an issue.
