File Name: Here wildcard ‘*’ in the path will poll all the files and directories in the folder FilePallet.
Include Existing Files: When will start the BW process, all files already persent in folder FilePallet are picked and new process instances is created.
Exclude File Content: Here we are reading the content of the file. If in case its unchecked file content is not read.

Advance Tab

Here any change to file create, modify and delete is picked and a new process instance is created.
Include Sub-Directories: The current tutorial is listining to path “F:\Tibco\Projects\TibcoAZ\FilePallet”; when this option is checked File Poller will poll the files in its sub-directories. Note: Pattern to poll for specific file in the sub-directories will be same to the wildcard spcified in File Name in configuratin tab.
Mode:In this tutorial we are listing to any changed in files. Use “only-directories” to look for changes to directories and
“files-and-directories” to look for changes to both files and directories

Write File Activity
Configuration Tab

Append: Append contents; else when unchecked it will overwrite existing file.
Create Non-Existing Directories: If folder Projects and TibcoAZ are missing in the given path “F:\Projects\TibcoAZ\FilePallet\WriteToFile.txt” when Write File activity is executed the missing folder are automaticly created. If unchecked, IOException is genrated if floder is missing. Note: This is only applicable to folders not to file.
