Sender file adapter- Process multiple files in a sequence

[#1]

Hi

We have two source files (abc.pdf & 123.xml) in the same source directory and need to follow sequence in processing the files.

abc.pdf should be picked first and processed (file to file) and then (123.xml) should be picked (file to idoc) else this will result in conflict due to some dependency.

Please let me know if the below approach would work.

1) We can set External control mode for sender file channel (123.xml) and start the channel once 1st scenario is competed and stop it after 2nd scenario is done

or

2) Specify a condition in sender file channel (123.xml) "to pick the file only if (abc.pdf) is not available in the folder" or "to not to pick the file as long as (abc.pdf) is available in the folder"

Kindly provide your valuable suggestions on how to maintain the sequence in processing of those files.

Regards

This is not scheduled for particular time. We are not sure when the file will be placed in source folder.
