Setup interval on Import and Syndication server in 7.1

Hello Experts:

I am upgrading MDM from 5.5 to 7.1; I am having issues with Import Server picking up files from Ready folder, and Syndication Server creating the files on Ready Folder.

1. I checked Console, and both ports, Inbound and Outbound, are setup as Automatic.

2. I restarted both servers

The files are still on the ready folder for Import Server, and Syndication is not creating the file.

1. Do you know what else can I check to make this process automatic?

2. Do you know where, in 7.1, can I check the interval? I used to check it on the mdis.ini file, but I cannot find it in 7.1.

Thank you for your help,
