File Listener moving the file to completed folder after processing
Hi All,
We have a requirement to process the csv files placed in a Azure Blob Storage. I am using a Repository rule in Pega to access the file placed in the Blob storage and using a File Listener to invoke the service Activity to process the file.
But as a default behaviour, file listener moves the file to a completed folder in the Azure blob after processing it. But the team wants to retain the file in the same location so that other Applications can also use them.
Is there a way in Pega to customize to make the file remain in the same location instead of moving it to a completed folder?.
Appreciate if you can share your thoughts. Attached the screen shot
Thanks,

@RajeshS56 Have you tried checking by 'Persist Log-Service-File instances?' checkbox in file listener rule's Process tab?
It should resolve your problem.

@Bipul Singh , thanks for the response. I have enabled the Persist Log-serivce-file instances in the file listener. But still it is moving the file to a completed folder.

@RajeshS56 Please restart the file listener and check again.

@RajeshS56I think if you keep the file in the same location, file listener will try reading the file again and again. May be that is the reason why PRPC moves the file from the source folder.

- Persist Log-Service-file will not help in this . This just helps to add a instance in Log-Service-File class.
- Just a thought!! Can you try Creating a separate folder for Pega Process in the Azure, When the file comes in the Original Path, Have a file listener to copy the file from Original Azure path Location to Pega Folder.
- Have Second listener On Pega Folder to Process the Business logic and Select the File operation as Delete. This will delete the file after Processing and save the space on Azure. You can also enable Persist Log-Service-File. This might be helpful to check if the file ran or not.

@uashok93 , thanks for the explanation.
About Option 2. Even if I create a separate folder in Azure and enable a file listener to copy to that folder will it not move the file to a completed folder inside of that main folder?

I don't think so and it would be problematic for proper follow up.
./SOURCE: Source for your file, when you put them
./SOURCE/work_xxxxxxx: file being processed
./SOURCE/work_xxxxxxx/completed: completed files (if option selected to keep file, otherwise it will be empty)
btw, file listeners are also deprecated in later versions...
