Hello Vinay,

Try this in the communication channels. It should work out fine.

The inputs in image 1 make sure of the files to be picked.

The input in image 2 gives a time gap between picking up & placing of files thus maintaining the alignment while processing.

Hi Sam,

The advanced parameter for delay doesn't work in the case of FTP it works only in the case of NFS.

So the files will be picked simultaneously

Hello Vinay ,

You can use EOIO quality of service and then pick up the files ascending by name. May be you have to get some file name changed to maintain the order as per the alphabetic order.

Further you can also ask your Source system to put these three files in sequence. In that case you can pick the files by date.

Source file name you can keep as * in this case.

Thanks.

Hello Vinay,

You can advanced source directory/file options where you can configure multiple file names/folder.

But coming to order I guess you need to write OS command or custom bean.

Hi Vinay,

I guess you can do this by using file name as *.txt|*.xml|*.dat in sender file communication Channel

and select the processing mode as ARCHIVE it deletes the file and it will archive the file into required directory.
