With the File Connector, you can define a single File connection and include one or more Event Sources or Event Targets. These event sources and event targets generate process objects you can then consume or invoke in Process Designer.
The following Event Source types are available:
•File Monitor. Monitors a directory for new files.
•File Parser. Monitors a directory for new files and parses the file contents of each processed file.
•Delimited Content Parser. Monitors a directory for new files and parses the delimited file contents of each processed file.
The following Event Target types are available:
•File Writer. Writes files to a target directory.
•Delimited Content Writer. Writes delimited files to a target directory.
Because each Event Source and Event Target can have unique properties, one File Connector can monitor several different folders for new files, read delimited content from several other folders, and write to another folder.
You can combine a set of related tasks in one connection or split your work into several separate connections.
