Sequential Processing of Files in IIB v9

Environment:IIB9 broker on windows SFTP server is on windows

We have requirements to process a batch of files generated by backend system in sequential order (i.e FIFO). A batch can have multiple files. All the files are placed in the IIB source directory from where FileInputNode is polling using move command.

I Want to know if FileInputNode is capable of picking up files in the order they were created by backend system.

Thanks,

Below is the extract from help contents where in it says that FileInput node reads the file in the order they were created by default (oldest are picked up first).

How the broker reads a file at the start of a flow

The FileInput node processes messages that are read from files. The FileInput node searches a specified input directory (in the file system that is attached to the broker) for files that match specified criteria. The node can also recursively search the input directory's subdirectories.

Files that meet the criteria are processed in age order, that is the oldest files are processed first regardless of where they appear in the directory structure

Yes you can loop in your messageflow and set the filepath of the file you want to load, one at a time. Feel free to ask for information if needed.

For the order, I have to check(you can still call a java node that will list the files in the order you want)
