I created file listener and calling activity in listener.

Due to some access issue folder is not accisible

I created file listener and calling activity in listener.( Service File: \>\> Request\>\>Parse segment \>\>Activity

Due to some access issue folder is not accessible from file listener and that will resolve by windows team in couple of days.

(Test Files are available with me) Till that time, I want to test my code with reading file records, functional validation etc.

Is there any way to check it?

Or

IS there any way so Can I check my activity with giving same input as file listener is giving and run activity code?

@Mangesh Deshpande You could run the Service File rule and provide an input file.
