Sort Files job stops monitoring source folder
Feb 2nd, 2016 at 10:07pm
 
I have an Automatically Sort Files task setup to monitor a UNC fileshare for xml files and route them each to 2 different places. On a pretty regular basis, the job seems to stop monitoring for files in the source directory.  There is no error or indicative debug info in the history db.   it just doesn't seem to recognize the addition of the new files after a certain point.  It is using the Default monitoring method.  Is it not receiving 'notifications' from that network drive as the Polling method hint seems to indicate is possible?  should i change to the Polling method to resolve?  upgrade to 4.9.3? 

It is a reasonably consistent time of day though (sometime between 2230 and 2330 CST - Chicago), which seems to indicate an external influence, but without any error info I can't figure it out.

Version info below.

Hi,

The "Default" and "Fast" monitoring methods rely on notifications sent by Windows to your task. When you monitor a network share, those methods rely on
- Windows where WD itself is running
- The network
- Operating system where the monitored unc is
If there is a "glitch" somewhere, it may well be the task is not getting any notifications anymore.

The Polling and File Age monitoring methods do not rely on those notifications and should work fine in this case.
