RegExp Search Step

This step parses log files on the Deployment Automation agent side using regular expression rule matching and provides an output log file with the results.

Required properties:

Property Name Description
Include Files Specify the list of files to parse, relative to the base directory. Wildcards can be used. Specify multiple file paths as a new-line-separated list. Default value: ${p:prevStep/logPath}
Rules Specify a new-line-separated list of rules to apply to the contents of the file. The rule format is: RuleName=RegularExpression

RuleName is the name of the rule to assign to a line if the line matches the regular expression specified in RegularExpression.

For example,

ORA_MESSAGES=ORA-\d\d\d\d

will find all the lines containing the regular expression

ORA-\d\d\d\d

and assign it to the rule name

ORA_MESSAGES.

Rules are applied to each log line in the order of appearance in this field.

Optional properties:

Property Name Description

Specify the root directory where log parsing is performed.
Exclude Files Specify the list of files to exclude from selection, relative to the base directory. Wildcards can be used. Specify multiple file paths as a new-line separated list.
