IWS/IWA Filewatch JOBStream improvment

The client is using the Filewatch capabilities to manage input files coming from external partners/clients. During a normal day they need to manage the following situations:
- No file received
- a single file received
- Multiple file received
They need to manage all the previous possible situations.

All these applications are defined to be rescheduled as soon they will complete (Option "Start Once" not selected).

When the deadline is reached the occurrence "FILE_STARTCOND" will end in error and the related occurrence will result in error.

This situation will alert the Operational team for a non error condition that can cause unnecessary alerts that must be managed.

To prevent this situation the client implemented an event rule that will fire when the occurrence FILE_STARTCOND end in error and will cancel it and its related application.

This event rule can cause problems if the "FILE_STARTCOND" occurrence will fail.
