Accessing File Listener through Java
There is a requirement to check the status of a File Listener from Activity and take action based on the status. I tried to search for an Engine API (e.g. AgentUtils is there for checking Agent status) which can provide series of standard methods to get access to File Listeners, but did not find any. The file listener status is available in SMA, but how to get and process that status from existing Application Code (Like Activity/JAVA Step)?
Can anyone suggest on this please?
Thanks in advance,

I believe there is no OOTB way to do this but anything custom approach like getting list of thread names running on that node Eg:tools.getThread().getRequestor().getThreadNames(); and putting a filter for the thread on which listener is running, can be made available. However there will still be question as whether your listener runs on all nodes/Host based startup/Node based startup?

May i know the usecase in which you will use this data ? File listener has polling interval after which it will search in directory for files and process it.

To keep it straight, there is no Public API available to interact with Listener instance from Pega rules. If you are really looking forward for it, you need to create an enhancement request.
