Building and Deploying the File1 Channel

How to:

The file1 channel is included as a sample in the registry. This channel has an inlet that includes the file1 sample listener. The route, called move, moves the input stream to the output stream. Finally, the outlet, called default.outlet defines an empty outlet. An outlet that does not contain an emitter is considered to be a default outlet. With a default outlet, the output is routed back to the default location specified by the listener.

The following procedure describes how to build and deploy the file1 channel for use in the installation verification process.
