Check Input and output stream before running the workflow

Hi Team,

 

For a small workflow the current setup is okay to handle but with big workflow where input file count comes 25 at multiple locations then it is difficult to check every input.

 

The idea is: There should be some mechanism to check input/output before running the complete workflow 

 

  • If any of the input file is locked then ask user to continue or not
  • If any output file is locked then ask user to continue or not
  • Or above this message can be combined together

Once this done the workflow can do further processing.

 

From my experience, this will help to improve work process and time to fix the issue.
