Event Generation

The SFTP/FTP/FTPS Client origin can generate events that you can use in an event stream. When you enable event generation, the origin generates event records each time the origin starts or completes reading a file. It can also generate events when it completes processing all available data and the configured batch wait time has elapsed.

SFTP/FTP/FTPS Client origin events can be used in any logical way. For example:
  • With the SFTP/FTP/FTPS Client executor to move a file after processing it.

    For an example, see Managing Output Files.
