Suprisingly, the details on this stage are in the manual. Please read the Parallel Job Developer's Guide chapter for this and then let us know if you have questions.

If you are looking for an example of what it might be used for, the classic seems to be to get a list of filenames from your O/S to feed to an XML Input stage.
