DatasetMonitor events

Use this function to create event rules and trigger events

DatasetMonitor events are:

ReadCompleted
ModificationCompleted

Table 1. `SMF` events
Event type	Event trigger
ReadCompleted	A data set is closed after it was opened in read mode.
ModificationCompleted	A data set is closed after it was opened in write mode. This event is sent also when you create an empty data set.

Table 2. Parameters of ReadCompleted and ModificationCompleted event types
This table shows the parameters of ReadCompleted and ModificationCompleted.
attributeFilter name	Type	Required	Wilcard allowed	Length (min-max)		Default value
FileName	string	✓	✓	1	44

Note: For parameters with wildcard allowed, you can use the following wildcards:

*: To match any sequence of characters.
?: To match any single character. For example, if you specify AB?, ABC is a match, AB or ABCD are not a match.
%: For compatibility with earlier versions, it is supported for the same function as ?.

The following list provides a detailed description of the parameters:

FileName: Specifies the data set name to be monitored for actions on special resources. For details about how the Agent requests to change the resource availability, based on the specified FileName value.
