FreeFlow Variable Information Suite 5.0 (7/2006) VIPO-33
When using the Check for File Size Changes option, if very large files are transferred or
copied from a remote location to the watched folder, and the time it takes for the file
transfer to be completed is longer than the current watch interval, the file size changes
during the transfer are monitored and the file will not be picked up for job submission until
file size growth is not detected within the specified time. You must choose a period of time
for the watch interval, taking this information into consideration:
• The file size changes to be detected by the operating system
• The speed of file transfer or copy
When the Check for File Size option is active, files may no longer be picked up and
submitted for processing when found at every watch interval. The effective submission
rate is based on the file size check threshold as well as the watch interval. Even for small
files, job submission takes place after the threshold is reached, assuming the watch
interval is smaller than the threshold time.
A very small threshold (for example, five seconds) can be used for very small files, but
for large files this might not be long enough; change the threshold accordingly.
Command line options for the VIPO Watched Folders Client
The VIPO Watched Folders Client has two command parameters:
v2vwatch autostart noshow
These parameters are optional and can appear in any order or case on the command line.
• autostart — the VIPO Watched Folders Client will start watching folders
immediately. Normally, you need to press the Resume button on the Watched
Folders Client dialog.
• noshow — the VIPO Watched Folders Client will start in iconized size (minimized).
Both of these options are to facilitate automatic command-line starting of the VIPO
Watched Folders Client.
NOTE
The full path name of the VIPO Watched Folders Client executable may
need to be specified depending on the system environment (e.g.,
C:\xvtp\bin\v2vwatch.exe param1 param2).
