Archive Manager FileSet Option to handle multiple directories?

(imported topic written by dtamillow91)

Does anyone know if the “”_BESClient_ArchiveManager_FileSet-" setting supports multiple values?

I have a use case working that uploads a set of files from a directory, but I’m interested in seeing if there’s a better way to do it, so I’m experimenting a bit.

Currently, I’m using “_BESClient_ArchiveManager_FileSet-(WS)=/stage”, which does well in getting all the flat files in the /stage directory on a client. But, if /stage has any subdirectories, they’re not getting uploaded as part of the archive process.

I’ve tried setting “/stage” to “/stage/", but that had no effect. I also tried setting it to "/stage/.*”, but all that did was pick up files in /stage that had a file extension (ex: “file.txt” got uploaded, but not “file1”, “file2”, etc)

Is there some way to build a list of the directory and its subdirectories using a Relevance statement like “descendant folders of folder /stage” and concatenating that into the value for the ArchiveManager setting?

Thanks in advance!
