Use this page to specify the directory to be scanned and to configure Job actions to take place when new or updated files are found in the scanned directory.

  • To view the Jobs page, you must be a member of a group with the Manage jobs role enabled

Name

A descriptive name for this Job.

State

Enabled – Jobs will run on the specified Scan Interval.

Disabled – Jobs will not run automatically, but can be run using Run Now.

Run Now

When you click this button, Reflection Gateway scans the files in the specified Directory and initiates listed Job actions if new or updated files are found that meet the filter criteria.

  • You can use Run Now when the state is set to either Enabled or Disabled.

  • Clicking Run Now will not initiate Job actions if no files have changed since the last time you tested. To test updated Job actions, be sure to make modifications to files in the scanned directory.

  • The Running Job dialog box indicates that the Job has been initiated. It remains open until you close it. You can close it at any time; closing this dialog box has no effect on the running job.

Specify the SFTP server whose directory you want to scan. This can be any Windows or UNIX SFTP server that has been added to Gateway Administrator by the Reflection Gateway system administrator. (See Add File Servers to Gateway Administrator).

Filters
