One solution is to create Windows or Unix shell script on the Informatica server that checks for the existence of the file. Something like this:

#!/usr/bin/ksh

if [ ! -f /Filelocation/INPUT_FILENAME.txt]
  then
    echo "Source not found"  
    exit 1
  else
       echo "Source present"     
          exit 0
  fi
done
exit 1

Create a command session in Workflow that runs this script.

How to check in informatica whether a flat file exists at a location at FTP server and to check if it has some data in it?

I wanted to develep the workflow which continuously running and looking for the file..

The source file data is like this :

eno
10    
20    
30    
40

Once the file received in the FTP location , the workflow should automatically pick the file and load into the target Table.

The output of target table table will be like below

eno    Received
---    -------
10      Y
20      Y
30      Y
40      Y
50
60
70
80

the condition to load the target table would be [ Update EMP_TGT set Received='Y' where eno=' ]
