Enabling and Configuring Outbound File Polling Service

To enable an Outbound File Polling Service, perform these steps:

1. On the System Settings tile, click Transport Protocols > Outbound Protocols.
2. Click Configure Service of FILE Outbound.
3. Click the protocol you want to enable and edit the options listed below:

   Outbound File Poller Configuration

   Field	Description
   Enable	Select the Enable check box to enable Outbound File polling service.
   Monitor Directory (e.g. /...///*.*)	The name of the file fileName and directory location, if desired, to monitor. Either provide the fileName or use the asterisk (*.*) character as a wild card to specify a collection of files. Do not provide a directory location only. TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition searches subdirectories recursively. The directory C:\ will not be taken as a base directory: specify C:\BaseDir instead. A better configuration is C:\BaseDir\*.*, which specifies the directory for the Outbound File poller. Note: Directories for Inbound and Outbound File pollers should not be the same ones that are used for storing shared or local files.
   Directory to Place Error Files	Designate a directory where the files will be placed if an error occurs during the processing of the outgoing files.
   Polling Interval (seconds)	The duration for which the polling occurs. Default is 300.
   Delete File	Enable files to be deleted after processing. In order to avoid that the same files are picked up on the subsequent startup of the TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition engine, it is advised to select this check box and have the files removed after processing has been completed.

4. Click Save.
