Hi @dishasharma 

 

You can use the file historization setting to archive the file that has been process by the activity. These files will be moved to an archive folder mentioned by you and then the location path will be empty for the new files to receive and process. 

 

Please find the reference here.

    Hi @dishasharma 

     

    As mentioned by @isahore, you can set these options in the same file transfer activity which you are using to collect the file at the starting of the workflow. In File hostorization setting you can mention your storage/archive folder path and after processing these files will go and sit in the archived folders.

     

    Hope I am clear in my comments.

     

    Thanks

    Akshay

      Hi @dishasharma,

      The file transfer activity has a setting in the advanced parameters to delete the source files after transfer.

      Select this option and your original files will be deleted from the location and not be processed the 2nd time.

        @isahore 

        so if we select this option --- delete the source files after transfer.

        I have one ask on this---

        it will delete the files from sftp right after the file transfer activityy pick the file or after the complete wkf has processed the file meaning

        file will be deleted  from sftp after filetransfer acitiy step completed in workflow or after update data acity complete (this uodate data acitiy is after datalodign activity in my workflow)

        Hi @dishasharma,

        Once the workflow activity picks up a file for processing, it will delete the original file right then from the external SFTP directory. It does not wait for the workflow to complete.

        ACC implicitly copies the file into its specified archive directory, from where it uses the file for further processing. It does not depend on whether the original file was deleted or not. So, you should be good checking the option to delete original files after transfer.

        Let me know if that was clear.
