Hot folder introduction

[Former Member]

Hi all,in my view,when CSV files are placed into a hot folder,the Impex cronjob is validating them and generating Impex from it,thus saving us from the overhead of generating Impex for an individual file.Am I right or wrong?If I am not right,please provide an introduction in this context.

Hi Rachit,

That is correct. You can check the various beans in hot-folder-spring.xml. For example, the HeaderInit.java class creates the impex header, the ImpexTransformerTask.java class creates the impex data rows and AbstractImpexRunnerTask.java imports this impex. Once the hot folder import is done, you will able to see the converted impex in the media/impex folder. These files have an extension of ".bin".

Thanks, Adarsh
