This component allows users to read the contents of a file during workflow execution. It supports accessing files from a specified path or selected file source and enables automation processes to consume file data for validation, transformation, or downstream processing.

Parameters

Parameter Description
Select Files Allows users to select the file source to be read, such as a local file or a file provided from an upstream component.
File Path Specifies the full path of the file to be read.
Timeout (Seconds) Defines the maximum time (in seconds) the system will wait to read the file before timing out.
Retry Count Specifies the number of times the component should retry reading the file if the operation fails.
Delay Between Retries Specifies the time (in milliseconds) to wait between consecutive retry attempts.
Delay Before Execution Specifies the time (in milliseconds) to wait before executing the component.
Delay After Execution Specifies the time (in milliseconds) to wait after the component execution completes.
Continue on Error Determines whether the workflow should continue if the component encounters an error.
  • Stop Workflow – Halts the workflow execution immediately when an error occurs.
