File Compare

Description

File Compare checks whether the contents of two specified files are identical and branches the process based on the result. Use this process entry for data validation and change detection — for example, comparing a newly downloaded file with the previous version to determine if processing is needed, or verifying that a generated output matches an expected reference file. The success hop is followed when the files match; the failure hop is followed when they differ.
