We have a map that is triggering through the ES on input files located on a Samba share.

We noticed in the Samba logs that a new connection was initiated every 10s. I suppose this is the default value of the option PollWaitTimeMax in the dstx.ini.

My question is whether it is possible to configure that a connection is kept all the time instead of retrying every couple of seconds.

Thanks all.

AFAIK, they pollwaittime settings are for messaging type adapters. Turn of the ES and see if the connections are still occurring.
How do you have the path to the files indicated to the ES? Mapped drive, UNC path? As far as I know, we don't know or care about this, the connection should be handled by the OS.
What version of DS TX and what OS is it running on?

If I turn off ES the connections stop.
We are using UNC path.

DS TX 8.0 on Windows2003.

The file source event triggering somehow has to check whether there is a file present. How is this done then? This cant be handled by OS alone. ES somehow has to initiate this check regulary...

There is a file watcher thread, and it is single threaded, so if you have both local and remote watches, it will be making and dropping TCP connections.

; number of files to process at a time per directory (0 meaning all)
; 25 is the default - decrease this value as more directory watches
; are added for trigger uniformity
FileListenCount=20 ; Try using this and play with the values

; time in milliseconds between directory processing - 50 is the default
; increase this value if the CPU level is high when Event Server is idle
ListenSleepTime=35 ; Try using this and play with the values

Also try mounting the drives and using a local path.
