VerifiedScripting and Automation

A developer is setting up a File Drop Automation and wants to use a Filename Pattern that accommodates timestamps in the file name. The file name will always begin with the month and day (for example, MAY15) on which the file is dropped onto the SFTP site.

Which configuration should be used for the automation to start successfully?

Explanation

Automation Studio filename patterns are evaluated with the Contains, Begins With, or Ends With operators, and they do not support wildcard or date-token syntax such as %%MMMMdd%% or %%Year%%%%Month%%%%Day%%. A filename whose relevant pattern is at the start is matched with the Begins With operator.
