Enterprise Operations EIE File Directories

The Enterprise Operations EIE uses the Microsoft file system as the repository for request and response files. As files are processed by the system, they are moved to the directory applicable to the stage of processing.

Directory	Description
Input Requests	The directory in which the Enterprise Operations EIE checks for Request Files.
In-Progress Requests	The directory in which a Request File is stored while it is in-progress. The first step in processing a request is to move the Request File to this folder. The file remains in this folder during processing, or if processing fails.
Output Responses	The directory in which the Output Files are stored. An output file is the result of a Request File.
Processed Requests	The directory in which processed Request Files are stored once processing is complete.

The files are moved to the various directories as they proceed through processing (request, in-progress, output, and processed).

Requests may arrive in the inbox with the same name, but the file system requires file names to be unique. If another file with the same name is already found in the directory, this may result in a File Name Collision.
