Example

• Receive 5 files and all should be processed the same way
• Order of file processing does not matter
• Set up:
  • A Main Schedule
    • With File Watcher, using wild card(s) to capture file name
    • A Job must also be added that will create files in Main Schedule
  • When a File Arrival job finds a match (after the Create File Job runs), the Event is triggered
    • The Event adds a Multi-Instance Container Job that calls the processing SubSchedule
    • Once the Container Job finishes, it triggers the Event to restart the File Watcher
      • This will loop through all 5 files
