The requirement is for me to import these files into a custom form in Remedy. The customer is set on using pipe delimited text files and is not interested in switching over to webservices or pushing the text file into a DB table and then create a View form. The integration must be using pipe delimited text files. Every 30 minutes, one or more files is dropped into a folder, i.e. <file A> and <file B> dropped at 12:30; at 1:00 PM <file c> is dropped in the folder. I must grab the files at 12:30 and import them into a custom form. After they have imported into the custom form, I need to rename the file or move it to another directory so they dont import twice. I then repeat the process at 1:00 PM. Can this be done using ARImport from an escalation or AIE or some other method other than webservices or a View form? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
