Workspace Environment Management

File System Operations

December 5, 2023

Contributed by:

Controls the copying of folders and files into the user’s environment.

Tip:

You can use dynamic tokens to extend Workspace Environment Management actions to make them more powerful.

File system operations list

A list of your existing file and folder operations. You can use Find to filter the list by name or ID against a text string.

To add a file system operation

Use the context menu Add command.
Enter details in the New File System Operation dialog tab, then click OK.

Fields and controls

Name. The display name of the file or folder operation, as it appears in the list.

Description. Lets you specify additional information about the resource. This field appears only in the edition or creation wizard.

Filesystem Operation State. Controls whether the file system operation is enabled or disabled. When disabled, it is not processed by the agent even if assigned to a user.

Source Path. The path to the source file or folder that is copied.

Target Path. The destination path for the source file or folder that is copied.

Note:

While using a non-domain-joined agent, WEM might not work if network share is used in Source Path or Target Path.

Overwrite Target if Existing. Controls whether the file or folder operation overwrites existing files or folders with the same names in the target location. If cleared, and a file or folder with the same name already exists at the target location, the affected files are not copied.

Run Once. By default, Workspace Environment Management runs a file system operation every time the agent refreshes. Select this option to let Workspace Environment Management run the operation only once, rather than on every refresh. This speeds up the agent refresh process, especially if you have many file system operations assigned to your users.

Action Type. Describes what type of action this file or folder action is: Copy, Delete, Move, Rename, or Symbolic Link operation. For symbolic link creation, you need to give users the SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege privilege for Windows to allow symbolic link creation.

Execution order. Determines the running order of operations, letting certain operations run before others. Operations with an execution order value of 0 (zero) run first, then those with a value of 1, then those with a value of 2, and so on.
