Hi

I need to import files that are on a remote server to extract their content into a data table with a workflow

Is there any way to process file from non repository folder?

Short of writing a script in workflow, you could use Import Agent to import the files into the repository then extract the data from the files using the workflow activities depending on the nature of the data you wish to extract into a data table.

It's hard to say without knowing more about the types of files you have. SQL Server has built-in data import capabilities that would be faster because they would have a lot less overhead than running these files through Laserfiche.

I have XML files in a folder located in a location within the network, I need to process each file individually to obtain its content and compare it with data that I have stored in a database to determine if they are identical
In one of the answers I found that the "for each file" object can do this
The problem when executing the workflow for the "for each file" object cannot access the folder on the network and it gives me the error [0454-WF1]

0454 is "folder not found". Keep in mind that when accessing network drives in Workflow you are doing it from the perspective of the user specified in the service login and that services do not have access to mapped drives. So you will have to use an UNC path.
