Hi,
My job uses a file as input, if the file is not present in the directory the job fails. I want the job not to fail if the file is not present in the directory.
i.e The job should kick off only when the file is present else the job shouldnt kick off. I searched the forum but not able to locate correctly.Can anyone help me out. I know its simple, but still am not gettin it.
Thanks in advance
Run job only when source file is there

Wait For File activity in job sequence.
Given your requirement that the job can not start until and unless the file is present means that some external agency (such as a job sequence) must be used to "kick off" the job.
You can use other techniques, too, such as third party schedulers.
