16. FILE Monitoring Specifying Aggregate Domains
MONITOR FILE $VOL.SUBVOL
Creates an automatic aggregate-only domain
MONITOR FILE $VOL.SUB*.*
MONITOR FILE $VOL\#
Creates an aggregate domain for all files being monitored on $VOL
MONITOR FILE MYFILES\#
Creates an aggregate for all of MYFILES
November 13, 2018
ASAP 2.5 Technical Update

17. FILE Monitoring More Aggregate Examples
MONITOR FILE $VOL.SUB*.*\$VOL\SUB1\#
Creates an aggregate domain for all files in $VOL.SUB1 where the file is selected by a wildcard specifier
The automatic aggregate-only domain, $VOL.SUB*.*\##, would have to be deleted before this domain would be output
November 13, 2018
ASAP 2.5 Technical Update

18. FILE Monitoring Wildcard Domain Names
A wildcard template entered in a MONITOR command is used to select objects and to create a domain name level
A wildcard template entered to a RANK command does not select objects, it only refers to the ASAP domain name level
Meaning if you do this:
MONITOR FILE $VOL.SUBV.FILE
RANK FILE $VOL.SUB*.*, FULL < 80
The RANK command will not apply to that file because ASAP does not treat “$VOL.SUB*.*” as a wildcard specifier in any command except the MONITOR command
This is true for FILE and PROCESS
