When you add the FileRead node to a message flow, you can configure it.
On Windows, if you are specifying a shared directory that is mapped to your local computer, specify the share name instead of the letter that represents the drive; for example \\myshare\mydirectory.
The FileRead node creates an mqsitransitin subdirectory in the specified input directory to hold and lock input files while they are being processed. If an integration server that processes files in this input directory is removed, check the mqsitransitin subdirectory for partially processed or unprocessed files. Move any such files back into the input directory (and remove the integration server UUID prefix from the file names) so that they can be processed by a different integration server. For more information about the mqsitransitin subdirectory, see How multiple file nodes share access to files in the same directory.
