The Disk collection agent collects files from a local file system and inserts them into a workflowa workflow.
The agent's source directory is continuously scanned for all files that match a filter expression. The matched files are then temporarily moved to an automatically created subdirectory before processing. This is to prevent that the same set of files are collected by multiple workflows.
The collected files are routed to the workflow as partial data sets, i e part of a bytearray or a decoded UDR, via FileSend types. These UDRs contain the original data and a sequence number. When all the partial data sets have been sent by the agent, it will send a FileEnd UDR to the workflow. The workflow must acknowledge the reception by routing back the same UDR type, or a timeout error will occur. For further information about timeout errors, see 9.1618.3.1.1 Disk Collection Agent Configuration - Real-Time.
UDR Flow
When a file has been successfully processed by the workflow, the agent offers the possibility of moving, renaming, or removing the original file.
