Hi,

For <b>Advanced Mode & Msecs to wait before modification</b>

With this parameter, you define the time during which file adapter wait in order to know if file is currently modifiing by another system.

For instance, File adapter try to pick up the file but this last one is currently used by another system. After nnn Msec, it try again to pick up the file. If file is again used by another system, then pick up is aborted, else pick up will be ok.

Hi,

from help.sap.com

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/content.htm

<b>Poll Interval (secs)</b>

Number of seconds that the adapter must wait if no files are found for processing.

<b>Poll Interval (msecs)</b>

Additional waiting time in milliseconds.

If Poll Interval (secs) is set to null, processing times will be short and close to real time.

If Poll Interval (secs) and Poll Interval (msecs) are set to null, the adapter is only called once.

<b>Retry Interval (secs)</b>

Specify the number of seconds that the adapter is to wait before a file processed with errors is processed again.

If the value is set to null, then the adapter is canceled if an error occurs, even if a value greater than null is specified for Poll Interval (secs).
