Scheduler

Use the Scheduler dialog to schedule when a source is polled for files or when transfers occur. How?

This dialog appears when you:

  • Select Schedule in the Source tab

  • Select add schedule in the Transfer tab

Note:

A source polling schedule affects all file deliveries for all transfers that include the source. A target-side schedule defined at the transfer level affects only file deliveries to that particular target. Coordinate your sources and transfers accordingly.
