Create File

Description

Create File generates a new empty file at a specified path. Use this process entry to set up placeholder files, create trigger files for external systems, or prepare empty output files before a workflow writes to them. You can configure it to fail if the file already exists, preventing accidental overwrites of important data.

Configurations

Process Entry name	Specify a unique name for the process entry, on the workspace area. A process entry can be placed on the canvas several times; and each instance of the entry must have a unique name.
File name	The name and path of the file to create an empty file.
Fail if file exists	The process entry will follow the failure outgoing hop when the file to be created already exists (empty or not) and this option is switched on. The default is on.
