Collect Files from Many Devices When the Previous Transfer Ends

Overview

Gather files from multiple source devices into one collection destination, with collection starting when the preceding transfer ends. The workflow chains collection to a completion-based trigger rather than a manual start.

Key components

• Multiple source devices
• Collection destination (e.g., Windows server)
• Completion-based trigger (after previous transfer)

How it fits your workflow

Use this solution to sequence collection behind an existing transfer, so files are pulled in from your devices only once the earlier step has finished. It suits pipelines where gathering has to wait for upstream work rather than run on its own schedule.

Common use cases

• Gather device logs after a nightly transfer completes
• Consolidate branch office files once uploads finish
• Chain data collection behind an upstream pipeline step
• Pull back output files after a batch job transfer
