  • 1.  File Polling on several directories.

    Posted Fri November 02, 2007 04:23 PM

    Experts,

    Using file polling, can I poll on multiple directories. That is one file polling service has to monitor serveral directories. If so, how do I mention the monitor directories.

    Thanks in advance,
    -rk.

    No. One file polling port, one directory.

    Rob is correct, as usual.

    However, it might be worth mentioning that you can turn on recursive polling (“Allow Recursive Polling” = ‘yes’) and then point the port to a parent-level directory. Then, in your processing service, make some determination as to which sub-directory the file came from and invoke specific logic at that point.

    I get the impression that’s not what you’re trying to do …
