Can I use a parameter for the directory when setting up file_order_source?
I tried something like %SCHEDULER_PARAM_INCOMING_DIR% (after defining INCOMING_DIR at the job chain), but it doesn’t seem to work. Similarly, can you use parameter for the file_order_sink "move to" attribute?
You cannot use parameters with file_order_source.
Instead of a script with file_order_source we recommend you use the JobSchedulerExistsFile job, which comes with the JITL jobs that are delivered with JobScheduler.
The JobSchedulerExistsFile job allows you define your own polling rate and parameterize the folder name. It also checks whether the file size is constant - i.e. Is the file still being written? - and will only proceed if the file size is not changing.
Please note that at the moment this only job on works on Linux systems.
