Setting up third party input and output hot folders
For folder-based profiles, to ensure the exchange of files between
the Process Manager external process and the third party
software, you must set up input and output hot folders for the third
party software that match the input and output folders of the profile
used to execute the external process.
NOTE: It is your responsibility to ensure that your third party
software has the proper Windows write access to the folders
(input folder, output folder, etc.) you create and/or set up during
the External Process node configuration in Workflow Builder.
Example
In Process Manager - The following input and output folders are
set up in Process Manager for an external process profile called
Profile 1:
• Process input folder: C:\Profile1In
• Process output folder: C:\Profile1Out
In the third party software - The following input and output hot
folder locations must be set up to match the above input and
output folders for Profile 1:
• Third party input hot folder location is mapped to the Process
input folder: C:\Profile1In
• Third party output hot folder location is mapped to the Process
output folder: C:\Profile1Out
NOTE: The third party software must be running for you to use the
external process in a workflow.
