tWaitForFile - what's the order to process multiple files

Anonymous — Mon, 25 Jul 2016 06:11:47 GMT

Hi
I use tWaitForFile to process files in a setup folder. The setting is as screenshot below.

What is the order to process files (e.g. 1000 files) ?
Is it order by "filename" or "time stamp of file creation" or "something else"?
Cheers
Jay

Hi,
It should be ordered by "time stamp of file creation" if your choose "a file is created" trigger action option.
You can use tjava component to print out the message of file creation time and name.
Please take a look at component reference about:TalendHelpCenter:tWaitForFile
Best regards
