Question on text file trigger
One of our processes generates two files, say client-data.txt and client-data.control.txt. We want to start loading the data file only after we received the control file. We want to trigger the process on the control file but load the data file since control file does not have any data in it. How do we achieve this? The filenames are not fixed, we will need to extract the filename from control file itself.

You can set up a process flow that triggers based on the control file, then within that process call a child flow that loads the data file.

I tried doing this yesterday but I was unable to pass the filename to the child process. How do I pass the filename to the file source in the child process? Do I need to set up context variables before I call the child process?

That's correct, here's a forum post that should help: http://support.adeptia.com/entries/21285277-Passing-context-variable-from-Parent-to-Child-Flow
