Hi @Shruti1 ,

If you are importing from SFTP, add an "Archive" folder there, and start moving files to archived when processed. Now you will have only the latest file in your incoming folder. While Importing file in AC, you can now add a test activity and Alert to process the alert in case of missing file.

Hello @Shruti1 

Once the file is ingested successfully set the Option by this code:

setOption('lastingestion',new Date());

Then, in the new workflow, use this code to check the difference between the last ingestion and the current time.

var lastingestion=getOption('lastIngestion')

var now=new Date();

instance.vars.hoursDiffer = Math.abs(now - lastingestion) / 36e5;

Then, use the test activity to check if the difference is 5 hours.

Hi @Shruti1 ,

You can also try below approach,

Connect a JavaScript Code activity in 'Ok' transition of file transfer, and enter the below script inside JS code activity

logInfo("File Processed")

'No file' Transition:

Query:

Targeting & Filtering Dimension: xtk:workflow

Filtering Condition:

@internalName equal to internal_name_of_current_workflow

AND

Message (log)   do not exist such as

        @message    equal to    File Processed

         AND

        @logDate      equal to    SubHours(GetDate() , 5)    

Test Activity:

vars.recCount > 0

And configure the Alert activity.

Now when there is file present, 'File Processed' log will get generated. If there is no file processed in last 5 hours, an Alert will get triggered.
