Hi,
I have one more design...
-- Schedule a job every day with optimum frequency
-- Once the job is execute, record the timestamp, size of the file you processed
-- At the next execution compare it with your earlier records and if different load it again else end the job...
-- This way you will be able to provide proof for your data update and reading..
Thanks

Hi,
Components are independent of the OS, but the properties may be dependent on OS...

Change the path for the location which matches with your unix system, the job should work.
