It would be helpful to be able to throttle file based readers to be able to process a controlled number of files. I run into the situation where I have too many files to process in a single pass. Either each file contains too many records or the data within the files will conflict with each other.

Being able to tell IMan to process x number of files per run would help.  It could be told to load the files in alpha order, or date created order or size or how the OS returns the files (e.g. random), etc.  Then restrict the reader to only process the x number of files before moving that data through the Integration.
