Trying to Process Many Files in Bulk, Using Many Workflows within 1 file

[jonnorstrom]

Hey all,

Running into some issues trying to process our company's data input all in one swift motion. The idea is that we have many files, and according to how those files are named, they'll run through a specific workflow, and then all be joined later on to have some workflow agnostic information appended. I have each workflow individually working great. (see attached picture now) However, if we have no files for "Vendor 2" this month, then my "Workflow 2" components throw errors (typically: "Missing variable") and therefore the entire thing stops. Any ideas on how to combat this?

Any ideas welcomed. I've tried too many to count.

Jon

Use a text input tool to create a dummy record for each source. This data can be used to force a record into each stream. Then you can filter those records out gracefully within the downstream processes.
