Let me add WHY you want to wait. Traditionally one would check for the
existence of a stream file and then process it. However, if the file is
still being uploaded it passes your existence check but it will be locked
and/or incomplete. So, one might check for a second file. Another thing
was using the ftp exit points (not the stream file exit points). However
it had the same problem. It would fire off upon a request to upload the
file, not after the file was completed. The original intention of the ftp
exit point being "are we going to ALLOW this operation?" NOT "what should
we do with this file after the operation?". So, if you used the ftp exit
point, then checking for a second file worked great. For trusted internal
partners you could bypass the second file and actually have them execute a
RCMD from within their ftp script to fire off the process to post the
data.
