In Pega, processing a "file at a time" record in a service file of a File Listener where the file type is binary can be managed effectively using the following steps:

Steps to Process Binary Files in Pega File Listener

1. **File Listener Configuration**:    - Ensure you have a File Listener rule configured to monitor the directory where your binary files will be placed.    - Set the appropriate file extension and processing interval for the listener.

2. **Service File Rule**:    - Create a Service File rule to process the binary files. This rule will define how the file should be handled once it is picked up by the listener.

3. **Custom Java Code**:    - Since binary files are not straightforward to parse with out-of-the-box Pega functionalities, you can use a custom Java step in an activity to read the binary file content.

4. **Activity for File Processing**:    - Create an activity that will be invoked by the Service File rule. This activity will handle the binary data processing.    - In the activity, use Java to read the binary file content and process it as needed.

By using this approach, you can effectively process binary files in Pega without the need for additional parse segments. The custom Java code allows you to handle the binary data as required, providing flexibility in processing complex file formats.
