Empty File list

[Sats]

Hey Guys

I am using indirect Source filetype, and am generating a Filelist through a shell script.
If there are no files in the folder to be processed, the filelist created is empty.
But the informatica session fails with the following error:

Message: The indirect input file does not contain filenames.

Is there a way to not fail the session and proceed if the filelist is empty (assume there is no data to be processed?)

I just did this. In the shell script, I create a file if there are no
files and a different file if there are some. (just stub files). In
the workflow, I have a decision based upon which file is there. If
nine, just end thenworkflow, if there is files, run the session. I'll
send screenshot later this morning.

Thanks Tom. Nice idea. I implemented something exactly like that.

I put in the condition on the link that leads from the task that creates the filelist to the session that reads the file list. So if there were no records written to the filelist, the workflow doesnt proceed.
