Clarify Scenario:

In a Cleo Clarify Business Process, we are trying to delete a LInux file via a Clarify Delete Adapter
Note: We created the Delete Adapter using various values to identify the filename.

Clarify Issue:

For some reason Cleo Clarify identifies the file, but it does not delete the file.

Clarify Business Process Errors:

Below are the scenarios we tested using the actual filename and wildcard values.
