| Abstract | File processing for incoming files could be a lot easier and less labor intensive. What is needed is automated processing of the files needed without manually looking for files and running code separately for each import. This code is a method to set people free from looking for files. This program is generic and runs off a configuration file, which provides some basic information about the files for the program to execute import process code for each file individually based on the existence of the file. It is setup to be date agnostic and relatively free of the errors experienced when importing files from sources which change filenames because it is driven by a keyword (At least one item in the filename should be consistent and not redundant between source files found in the directory). It can be executed daily, weekly, monthly, or whenever needed once the files anticipated have been setup in the configuration file and a few simple steps are followed to make sure that directories are regularly cleaned out so they are ready for new files. This program will even notify people what files were in the directory and processing status of each feed via email. This code uses the concepts listed below in an integrated way to solve a real life problem; People just want their data imported so they can get to work! |
