2. SFTP job failed with “No file from FTP server matched this file name pattern: sftpxx.successfactors.com”.

The * is a wildcard added by backend, like "InputFileTest_20231030*.csv" can match "InputFileTest_2023103001.csv" or "InputFileTest_2023103002.csv" or "InputFileTest_20231030.csv".

System will detect any filename that starts with 'InputFileTest_20231030' in CSV format.

It should be caused by input file "InputFileTest_20231030.csv" does not exist in SFTP server.

Please ensure that the input file is at the respective SFTP folder before the job execution time.

Note: If you have more than one file starting with InputFileTest_20231030.csv, the system identifies the most recently added file as the one to process. This behavior is expected. If you need to ensure that  a specific file is loaded instead, you  need to add the second file only after the job has run.
