No, the WFF stage would have the same problem - see file, get file. The typical solution would be to utilize a semaphore file, a small usually zero-byte file that is sent after the main file.

Load your input file into a work table in your database of choice, then use sql to create your output. Load both if the hashed file source isn't present there.
