File channel

 The file channel reads a file from a directory and adds it to the server database as a new record.

It creates a File message that you can configure triggers on. The file channel deletes the file after it is read.

Settings

Property	Description
Path	The directory that is checked for new text files.
File Specs	This specifies the pattern for file names that are picked up.
Mode	The channel supports two modes: Listen for new files. This mode creates a file message and runs associated triggers immediately when a new file appears. This works when a file is moved into the pickup directory. Creating a file and then writing to it in the pickup directory can cause incomplete read errors. Poll for new files. Wait for the poll interval to elapse and then read all files in the pickup directory. Use this if Listen for new files is not reliable.
Poll Interval	The interval in milliseconds between polling.
Max Size	The maximum number of KB that is read from a file.
