Watch file for specific time interval

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I need to implement a job that will watch file for specific interval and generate notification.

Thanks

[TRF]

Schedule the task with the desired interval (using TAC or an external scheduler) or use tSleep to introduce the wait strategy into the job.

In this case you should anticipate a condition to break the infinite loop.

all what suggested by @TRF, also:

- look for ESB, where You can create route which monitor folders

- Use remote agents with could ship files (or file content)

last also allow tail file in "real-time" to message queue

Hi,

This is what I need to implement

System should perform below validations for file reception
 - File should be received by stipulated (configured time) time for particular Issuer
 - For each issuer two files should be present – Main and Meta

 If file not received by stipulated time, then system should retry up to configured number of times
 - System should retry after configured duration

Can you please elaborate how to implement this. The directory that needs to be scanned will have multiple files coming , I need to scan this folder, read these files and do validations and processing.

Appreciate your co-operation and timely help.

Thanks,

Pravin Sanadi

- Schedule Job as usual - by any scheduler

Job structure:

- tLoop with number of iteration what You want to re-try

- iterate to next steps:

- tFileExists for both of files 

- trigger IF exists both - run all steps and exit Loop

- trigger IF not exists both - tSleep for predicted number of seconds

- after tSleep if number of current iteration == maximum defined - notify about unsuccessful execution

Above - simple sequence for single issuer, but You can extend it for iterate thru all defined issuers
