Specifying the File Analytics folder depth

A parameter, Dfa.export, is available to specify folder depth for File Analytics.

  • To specify the folder depth for the report summary, add the following parameter when executing the command -Dfa.export.folderDepth=x where "x" is the depth. By default the depth is set to 1.

  • To turn off reporting on parents, add the following parameter when executing the command -Dfa.export.includeParents=No. By default reporting on parents is turned on.

  • To specify the name of the output file use -Dfa.export.reportFileName=SomeReportName.csv. If this parameter is not specified the default output file will be report.csv.

For example:

java -classpath  /opt/aptare/portal/WEB-INF/lib/*:/opt/aptare/portal/
WEB-INF/classes/ -Dfa.export.folderDepth=2 -Dfa.export.includeParents=No 
-Dtest.resourceLocation=opt/aptare/portal/WEB-INF/classes/

Sample Directory Structures and Results

As an example, the table that follows, uses these directory structures to show the results of different parameter values:

  • D1

  • D1/SD1

  • D1/SD1/SD2

  • D2/SD3

  • D3

This table illustrates the expected results given the different parameter values:
