Get Files from Server
Description
Get Files from Server downloads agent-level or workflow-level files from the AutomationEdge Server to a local directory at runtime. Use this process entry when a process depends on supporting files — such as configuration data, reference files, or templates — that are managed centrally on the server. It retrieves the specified files before subsequent process entries execute, ensuring that the required resources are available locally.
Note: The file name should not be changed when updated from AutomationEdge UI; only then the process will be able to pick it up. If there is filename change, the process also should be updated accordingly.
