Is it possible to trigger an event in SAP once a file is posted in a certain folder? This event will then be used to trigger a background batch job.

This event is best being triggered from outside SAP using the "sapevt" command. Whatever process copies the file can probably call a shell script (or similar) containing that command after a successful copy.

Alternative is a polling job in SAP that runs every x minutes and checks for new files.
