Hi,

I have a VC job set up to have a file trigger (created) from a specific folder. The files to that specific folder get written by a different application and is not controlled by VC. How can I delay the file trigger as sometimes it takes a while for the other application to write the file to the folder.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi ypotluri,

There are a few ways to do this:

1. The file trigger has an option to fire when the file is released. Have it trigger on all the files in the folder and make the file trigger queue the job.
   Have a condition on the 1st task checking if all the files you need are there.
   
   
2. This is an easy way and just add a wait task as the 1st task in the job and set this to an approriate time so you know the files are ready.

Regards,
Erik

The wait task option is working perfectly fine. Thanks a lot for your input.
