File based scheduling questions

[former_member719672]

Hi All,

Can someone please help us to answer our below query?

1- What is the default frequency with which Event Server checks for the file events? We have requirement to setup this value to 20 mins, is it possible? As per my knowledge there is something called "Event Poll Interval" which can have value b/w 0 secs to 20 secs. We want to know if we can have it as 20 mins or not. If not than why? Is it something like having higher value is not going to server our purpose?

2- Suppose we scheduled a report with file based scheduling and the file is not getting placed in the server at all. In that case till what time the schedule will be active? Is it 24 hours? or it is based on some other parameters? Is it possible to get this value changed?

3- If the 1 st point is not possible i.e. we cannot have 20 mins of frequency in  that case of Event server will be engaged in looking for the file. So what will be the impact on the server?

Please help me with these answers.

Thanks,

Deepak

1) You're right about Event Poll Interval. Changing that from default 10 seconds would suffiice your requirement. But this is a global setting that would affect all the events in the BO platform.

2) The job would wait till the file event to become successful. I don't think there is any time limit set for expiry.

3) Leaving it as the default 10 seconds may cause additional load on the server but this would be negligible. You may want to make sure that the file is created in some location which is closer (by network speed) to the BO server to ensure that the 10s poll interval does not cause additional load. BTW 10 sec itself a big itnerval these days!!
