In the sample below there are two different approaches described how you can start jobs on a file event.
Using file order source
See also Documentation
the job chain job_chain_file_order_source has a file order source looking for files in c:\temp\input ending with .txt. When a file arrives, an order for the job chain will be created. The file will be erased at the end by the file sinks.
- Orders can not have parameters
- Order starts when file arrives, not when file is completly written
Using JITL Job JobSchedulerExistsFile
the job chain job_chain_file_order_source_poll uses the job JobSchedulerExistsFile to check, wether a file is in c:\temp\input ending with .pdf. If so, for each file found, an order will be created for the job chain job_chain_file_order_source. The file be erased by the sinks in the executed job chain.
