Hi I have a quick question about using create file triggers. I have an application that usings java to create files. I have observerd that files are created, and then written to as the java program generates content. How can I be sure that the java kode is finished and the file is closed before the create trigger fires and starts to copy it?

Maybe you should not use the File Trigger if there are several files - instead, you could use the Process Trigger to check for exit of that specific process.

Or you could alter the java code to write to another folder when complete - and then you can use the file trigger to monitor that other folder.

Sory , I have not made myself clear there is one one file per job but from the point of creation to the time when the file is finished can be several minutes long

By default you have an option in the File trigger called "Trigger when file is released". This means, as long as the file is writing it won't trigger - it will wait until completion.

Thank you, I hoped it worked like that, but since the files contain bank transfers for millions, I did't really want to try it out without knowing for certain (even in test as the clearing up would be horrible if it went wrong)

😁 I hope you have test environment. Hint. Hint.
