The File Poller process starter polls for files or directories with the given name and starts

a process when the specified

change (creation, modification, deletion) is detected.
File Name:You can also use wildcards to monitor a directory for files that match the given specification. For example,
C:\files\*.log would match any change to a file in the files directory with an extension of .log
Polling interval (in seconds) to check for the specified file.
Include Existing Files:When this field is checked, if an existing file matches the specification in the File Name field when a
process engine starts, then a new process instance is created. If this field is not checked, any existing files that match the
specification in the File Name field are ignored until there is a change in the file. If this field is not checked, any existing files
that match the specification in the File Name field are ignored until there is a change in the file.
Exclude File Content: Specifies not to load the data from the file into this activitys output. If this check box is selected, the
contents of the file are not available to subsequent activities in the process definition.
Sort By:Files are processed as the polling interval occurs. Therefore, the Sort By field applies to all files that have changed
since the last polling interval. The Sort By field can be very useful if you wish to process files in a specific order when the
process engine starts and the Include Existing Files field is checked (then all existing files are processed in the specified
order).
Note: The File Poller starts process instances based on the specified Sort By order, but the process instances may not
complete in the same order. If you wish to guarantee that processes start and complete in a given order, you must specify
Max Jobs = 1 and enable the Activatation Limit field when you deploy your project.
The Parse XML activity takes a binary XML file or an XML string and processes it, turning it into an XML schema tree
based on the XSD or DTD specified.
The preferred way to parse XML files is to use a Read File activity set to binary mode to read the XML file. Then pass the
binary file contents to the Parse XML activity.
