I have a job set up with "Move before execution" option for the semaphore file that triggers the job.

The job runs when the semaphore exists. It gets an error which indicates that it fails to move the semaphore file. The error message is
"Unable to move semaphore file. Extended error: Could not move file "C:\Program Files\24x7 Automation 3\sem\SchedulerTestStub0_*.FINISH" during 3 seconds. Source file "C:\Program Files\24x7 Automation 3\sem\SchedulerTestStub0_*.FINISH" not found"

I am sure that 24x7 knows this file exists because it triggered the job. The message seems to be saying that it is trying to move a semaphore file with a name that is the same as the value of the file mask, rather then the name of the semaphore file that it found with the mask.

If this is correct, it looks like a bug in 24x7.
If it is incorrect, I do not understand the message.

Either way, can you investigate please?

Move or rename semaphore files option does not currently support file masks.
One of the available workarounds is to use a script type notification action and take care of file processing in the script. Another workaround is to use a program type action using DOS move command with a file mask.

Is support for moves of semaphore files based on a mask scheduled to be available in a future release?

I will submit an enhancement request on your behave.

By the way, for now you can use FileDir utility for this purpose. This utility can be called with appropriate parameter from a notification action of "run program" type and carry a command (including, "copy", "move" or "rename") for every file matching the file mask.
