I have seen the posts mentioning HiperBatch but I would have thought that BatchPipes would have given you the same performance benefit if not better. BatchPipes is a paid feature I believe though.
If processing the file by multiple jobs as soon as it is created is the goal, then wouldn't BatchPipes be faster than HiperBatch as you could start accessing the data as it is being created instead of waiting until the job completes?
