File Palette

The File palette is used to read, write, delete, or create files. You can use the process starter present in this palette to poll for files and start a process based on the available file.

  • Copy File
    The Copy File is a synchronous activity that you can use to copy files and directories to a new location.
  • Remove File
    The Remove File activity is a synchronous activity that removes the specified files from the directory. If the specified directory is not empty, it generates an exception.
  • Create File
    The Create File is a synchronous activity that creates a new file or directory with the specified name. When creating a file, you can also provide the file contents.
  • File Poller
    The File Poller activity is a process starter activity that polls for files or directories with the specified name and starts a process, when a change (creation, modification, or deletion) is detected.
  • List Files
    The List Files activity is a synchronous activity that returns information about files or directories, or a listing of all the files in the specified directory.
  • Read File
    The Read File activity is a synchronous activity that is used to read a file and place its contents into the output of the activity.
  • Rename File
    The Rename File activity is a synchronous activity that is used to rename or move files. This activity can also rename directories. However, you cannot use this activity to move the directory to a new location.
  • Wait for File Change
    The Wait for File Change activity is a signal-in activity that waits for a file creation, modification, or deletion event to occur during the process execution. When this activity is executed, the process instance suspends and waits for the specified change to occur before resuming.
  • Write File
    The Write File activity is a synchronous activity that writes content to the specified file.
