MQSeries.net :: View topic - File Extender: Multiple files, file order

Eendracht

Hello,

We're using the File Extender to process multiple files. We have to process these files in a fixed order - how can we guarantee this order? The files are put in the directory by an external application (almost) at the same time.

Is it possible to instruct the File Extender that it should always pick the oldest file available first, so it gets processed first? Or the one with the 'lowest' file name?

Currently, we have no way to control this, and see that files are not always picked in the same order, depending on our environments (development, test, acceptance).

Do you have any idea?

Thanks!
