Hi,
I have a scenario where I've to read two flat files and club them together
into one flat file in the output stage. Any suggestions for that ?

Take a look in this newsgroup and on the web, as well as in the docs, for
information on sequential or parallel convoys.  This sounds like what you
want.  Essentially, this will allow you to receive multiple documents into
the same orchestration where you can then use a map to map the two files to
one.

Can you open HAT and go to the Queries menu.  Run the recent service
instances query and find your orchestration.  Now you should be able to open
it in the orchestration debugger and find out the flow that your messages
went through.  It may be that you kicked off two different orchestrations,
one with each file and there are two instances out there waiting for the
second document.  you could try just dropping another copy of the ONE of the
documents and see if the orchestration completes.

The other thing to do is look at the following topic in the help (make sure
you have updated your help from the initial install)
"working with convoy scenarios"

This has good information about what the convoys are and how to set them up.
The sub topic for what you are doing is "concurrent correlated receives".
