@Ezhimathi Can you check whether your input files closed before running the workflow ?

Yes. I have closed all the files before running the workflow

@Ezhimathi In place of Dynamic Input, you can try using "\\Directory\*.filetype" to an Input tool as all the files have same schema.

For example: if the files are of type csv in directory C:\Users\Test then put file name as "C:\Users\Test\*.csv".

Let me know if this works.
