I think this is something similar to what I wrote in reply to Corion's post

For example, when the text file is complete, the file "REPORT.TXT" would appear in the output directory. When the excel file is complete, then "REPORT.XLS" would appear in the output directory. If P2 wants to report an error, then "REPORT.FAILED" would appear in the output directory. Here are the 2 reasons:

1) This approach may not suffice when there is a possibility of other files or users able to create/write files to a specific directory under the same name that process 'p1' is expecting

2) If the file is being written to after it is created, then process 'p1' should ensure that file to be used ( output.txt ) is indeed complete ( that the file handles over the file no more is valid )
