Create file listeners to trigger inbound and outbound flows when files arrive in a specific folder. A file listener listens to files in a specific location and can notify subscribing applications when files arrive at the location or when files in the location are updated or deleted.
You choose the file listener to trigger the partner flow in the Schedule pane of the Inbound and Outbound partner properties windows.
The file listener creates a job when the file listener starts. It lists the job instance on the File Transfer Logs page in Monitor. The file listener job details appear in the file listener job properties. For more information about monitoring file listener jobs, see the Monitor help.
A file listener that is not used by an asset is not active and does not listen to the defined folder.
Create file listeners in Data Integration. For more information about creating file listeners, see Components in the Data Integration help.
To create and use file listeners, users need the appropriate privileges for File Listener. For more information about user privileges, see the Administrator help.
