Hi Experts,

We have a requirement to poll the files only once from a FTP server on a daily basis at 3:00 pm.

Please suggest to achieve it.

Thank you,

Hi MK,

You can go for Availability Time Planning in the Run Time Workbench.You can create an availability time plan,give the details,the time you want the adapter to start poling and the duration.

Hi,

Have a look at the following blog:

/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/11/26/adapter-scheduling--hail-sp-19-

This talks about how to do the Availability time planning.

Thank you all,

then what should be the value for Poll interval in Adapter configuration.

If we schedule the Adapter to be active daily at 3:00 pm for 30 minutes.

Using the Planning Availability Time concept, u ll activate ur communication channel at 3:00. Now suppose the polling interval u had specified in the communication channel is 10 sec, then the first file poll ll occur at 3:00:10 i.e., 10 sec after 3 pm

Hi Divija,

Not sure about the blog. But please have a look at OSS note 821267 (Question 18).

Hi MK,

In the sender communication channel configuration you give the poll interval in seconds,that depends on what interval you want the adapter to scan for the files.If you want the files to be polled just once,you have to stop the adapter before it polls the next time,for that you have to give the duration in the availability time planning lesser than the poll interval.

Thanks and Regards,

Induja
