Job.HotFolder.ClearRetrievalFolder
Usage notes:
  • When the step processes a job, it leaves all files whose file names do not match the Retrieval pattern in the retrieval folder.

  • When you set this property to No, the file that the step retrieves can be in the retrieval folder when a job enters the step. The step retrieves the file, then puts the file specified by the File to send property in the sending folder. The step then sends the job and the retrieved file to the next step in the workflow. The step does not wait for a new file to be placed in the retrieval folder.
