Completion method

Specifies how TotalFlow Production Manager determines that transmission is complete for an input file. The workflow uses this value to determine when it has finished receiving the entire file and can begin processing it.

Values:

File open: The workflow determines that transmission is complete when it can open the input file for a write operation.

None: No defined method is used to determine file completion. Transmission is complete as soon as the workflow detects the input file.

Trigger: The workflow determines that transmission is complete when it receives the trigger file for the input file. The Trigger pattern property controls how the workflow recognizes a trigger file. A trigger file must have the same name as the input file, with a different extension.

For files copied from an FTP server to a hot folder, set the Completion method property to Check size or Trigger.

Note: The files are processed in a true FIFO order.
