Check if File is Locked
Description
Check If File Is Locked determines whether a file is currently locked by another process by attempting to move it to itself. Use this step when your workflow needs to verify that a file is available before reading, writing, or moving it — for example, waiting for a reporting application to finish writing a file before your workflow processes it. The step returns a Boolean result field that you can use to branch the workflow or implement a retry loop.
