Pause Hot Folder Import Process

[ganesan186]

We have got huge number of files to be loaded from multiple import folders. Are there any ways to pause the import from one folder temporarily until all files from other folder is processed. We need this as there are master data files which need to be processed 1st and then only dependent data should be processed. Currently it is trying to process the dependent data 1st as that came into the Hot Folder earlier and throws WARN messages.

I would want to put all the files from this folder ON HOLD as the master file has arrived and first load all the data from master file.

Feed sequence won't work here as the files are spread into multiple folders.

There is no automated process for this. You have to achieve with your manual implementation. As soon as your data is copied create and MASTER-EMPTY file. Once MASTER-Empty file is created that will tell you the data load was successful and Master data can be processed. Once this master data is processed successfully create another file in hot folder which can be used as a condition to confirm the master data process and to process the dependent data.

Thanks Vinay.

Yes, we have done something similar customization for a different requirement. Just wanted to know if there are any OOTB features also supporting this requirement.
