File Monitor<br />

A file monitor triggers a job or process flow when a control file that you create is detected in a monitored<br />

directory. The presence of this control file indicates that all files required by a particular job or process<br />

flow are in place and ready for processing. When the control file appears, the file monitor runs the job<br />

or process flow you specify. File monitors are useful in cases where there are other processes that create<br />

the files you want to use as inputs to a job or process flow.<br />

Custom Logs Removed<br />

In previous releases you could create user-defined logs to capture information about the dataflow and<br />

write it to a database table. As of this release, custom logs are no longer available. If you need to log<br />

information about job execution to a database, use the Write to DB stage.<br />

Distributed Processing<br />

If you have a very complex job, or you are processing a very large data set such as one containing millions<br />

of records, you may need to distribute processing in order to achieve optimal performance. <strong>Spectrum</strong> <br />

Technology Platform can now be configured to distribute processing to multiple instances of the <strong>Spectrum</strong><br />

Technology Platform server on one or more physical servers. To set up and configure a distributed<br />

environment, contact Pitney Bowes Software for information on a professional services engagement.<br />

Because of the complexity of such a setup, you should not attempt to set up distributed processing<br />

without consulting professional services.<br />

For more information about distributed processing, see the Performance Tuning Guide.<br />
