Hi Gurus,

my design is

wait for file activity------>jobactivity 1------->job activity2

my reauirement is : whenever filename appears, it should trigger my sequence.
for this: i have used wait for file activity and have given path of the file.
i compile and run, its running fine. when i go to view the log, iam getting the message,

job5..JobControl (DSWaitForFile): File 'C:\HashFiles\vijay' is already present.

plz help me, what does it mean, am i going in wrong way.
plz gurus help me.

cheers;
vijay

Not sure what's so confusing about that message. It didn't need to wait at all as the file was there the first time it checked. Nothing more mysterious than that.

The message informs you that no wait was required.

Delete C:\HashFiles\vijay before you trigger you job, and recreate the file while you job waits for the file. You ll find everything happening as expected.
