I'm going to have to go with Option C on this one. Eight hours of file drops sounds like a nightmare to manage. Replicating the auSamiraation and spreading it out across the day seems like the most elegant solution.

Option B with an API call might work, but that feels a bit overkill for this scenario. I'd go with the file drop approach and save the API option for a more complex use case.

But option C could also work by replicating the automation and scheduling it to execute every eight hours.

I agree with Sherman. The file drop approach sounds like the most efficient solution, especially given the new delivery schedule from the vendor. It should help minimize network usage and keep the process running smoothly.

I disagree, I believe option B is more efficient as it starts an automation with every file transfer using an API.

Option A seems like the obvious choice here. Using a File Drop and a filename pattern would allow the automation to process the files as they come in without the need for constant polling or API calls.

I think option A is the best choice because it allows for automation based on the filename pattern.
