@amitchandak  thanks for the response.  I did it 2-3 times, and still same error.

 

instead of the folder if I am selecting the direct file it is working fine. but not from the folder.

@RAKESH1986 , Have removed some steps from between. Please load it again and try. Seem like a step is missing or the file is corrupt
