Start Automatic Scanning

After you confirm that a Job is working using the Run Now button, you can set it up to scan the directory on a regular interval and trigger Job actions automatically when files that meet your filter conditions are added or updated.

Set a scan interval and enable the Job

  1. If you are not still viewing the Reports Job, select it from the Gateway Administrator Jobs page and click Edit.

  2. Set State to Enabled.

  3. Next to Scan Interval, click Change.

    For this test the Scan Interval to 1 minute. Then click OK to return to the Edit Job page.

  4. Click Save & Close.

  5. Go to your Reports server and copy one or more new *.pdf files to c:\Reports or update the existing files.

After a wait of a bit more than a minute, you should receive a success email. Confirm that the file name(s) are added to successfiles.txt on Reports server and the files have been transferred to the Transfer Site server.
