I have an ETL with a looping file load that loads all files (numerous naming conventions) in a directory. Recently we have been having ETL load failures. I have narrowed it down to the hidden system file thumbs.db
Previously we never had an issue with any of our ETLs and the thumbs.db file. Is this maybe a new bug? The problem is that every time we delete the file, anyone viewing the directory will cause it to be recreated.
Hi Matt,
Windows automatically creates this file when thumbnail is enabled, this file allow images to display faster. However, If you want to disable it then you can simply goto "Folder options" and under "View" tab check the box next to Always show icons, never thumbnails.
Also if you have same format of file that you are executing in your flow using "File System Source" object then you can simply add filter for it.
Here is the article related to it: https://docs.astera.com/projects/centerprise/en/6/sources/file-system-entries-source.html#file-system-entries-source
