Description:
This step is used to verify the file's existence on the application server.
Inputs
- filePath – file name including the file path
Returns
- True – file exists
- False – file does not exist
Usage:
Example:
Let’s build and execute the “fileExistDef” example.
- Create a new definition called “fileExistDef”
- Select the definition and click the “design” button
- Drag a “fileExist” step from the toolbox
- Connect the dots between the Start and “fileExist” step
- Click the "fileExist" step to configure its "Settings" properties. Provide a name to the step. Provide the file path on the application server. Click the Save button to save the configuration.
- The “Logging” setting configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures the workflow progress and the percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.
- Save the process definition, create a new instance, and execute. Render the process instance. The step verifies the file's existence and takes the True or False path as configured. Here, the workflow takes the True path as the file exists.
Definition Sample:
You may download the sample definition(s) from the link here and later import it (drag-drop) to your FlowWright Process Definition (XML file) or Form Definition (HTML file) page.
NOTE: Please verify and complete the process steps for any missing configurations, such as file path references and database connections after import. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
