| I have a requirement to read file data when a message contains certain condition. I am running WMB V61. I do not see any input terminal for a file node. So I can not think of a way to drive the node when the MQ message which starts the flow contains a certain condition. Any suggestion? Does File node in V7 has input terminal ? |

There is no FileGet node in any currently shipping Broker product.
Why does the data need to stay in a file until it's needed?
Can you use a FileInput to stick it on a queue and use an MQGet when the conditions are right? |

Load the file data into a database & save yourself a ton of trouble with file locks?
Break out of a JCN? (And hope another instance of the flow isn't reading the file, and that it's not being updated)
Load the file data into a shared variable & access that?
Other, better, solutions are undoubtable possible.

| If you want accurate information about features in future releases, you need to contact your IBM sales rep. |

You can also browse it with the MQGET node.
But a FileGet does sound like a useful feature to have. The main issue would be the transactional behaviour, but reading reference data would be safe enough. |
