#251 Oracle BPM leveraging file adapter properties

Simple scenario here - the input to the BPM process specifies which directory/file we should read.
Here I set file adapter input properties. I then write to a target directory/file - these are set as file adapter output properties.

Here is the BPM process -

sourceDirectory
sourceFile
