Job dismantler is a processor that disassembles a job folder (which may have one or more levels of subfolders) into separate files.
This tool is often used to dismantle job folders that really do not represent a single job. This happens for example when a user submits a folder into the flow that contains a set of otherwise unrelated files that need to be processed individually rather than as a single entity.
Each incoming file or job folder is treated with the semantics of a submit hierarchy with regards nested subfolders and job folders.
