You can make the processes mutually exclusive through setting up a scheduler by giving a cron expression so that your FTP or File component would not read files when they are being written, just in case if processing of your file not real time and copying of file via VB script is also scheduled.
Otherwise readLock=changed would help, try it out- >From camel documentation- *changed* is using file length/modification timestamp to detect whether the file is currently being copied or not. Will at least use 1 sec. to determine this, so this option cannot consume files as fast as the others, but can be more reliable as the JDK IO API cannot always determine whether a file is currently being used by another process. The option *readLockCheckInterval* can be used to set the check frequency. This option is *only* avail for the FTP <http://camel.apache.org/ftp2.html> component from *Camel 2.8* onward. Note: from *Camel 2.10.1* onward the FTP <http://camel.apache.org/ftp2.html> option *fastExistsCheck* can be enabled to speedup this *readLock* strategy, if the FTP server support the LIST operation with a full file name (some servers may not) On Mon, Aug 6, 2018 at 7:26 PM, Claus Ibsen <claus.ib...@gmail.com> wrote: > Also you can use "done" files, eg in the VB script you write a 2nd > empty file with a special name, that tells Camel that the other file > is done being copied and ready. > There is some options on Camel file endpoint you can configure for that > also. > > On Mon, Aug 6, 2018 at 3:54 PM, Claus Ibsen <claus.ib...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi > > > > You can configure Camel to only pickup files with a certain file > > pattern, or to exclude names with temporary names, etc. > > There is a number of different filter options, see its doc. > > > > On Mon, Aug 6, 2018 at 3:52 PM, Hemant Pekhale <hemant.pekh...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Hi Claus, > >> > >> Thanks for the reply. > >> > >> Yes, I am able to modify the script.
