Files not getting transferred above 1000 for file watcher event

[Mani Ranjan]

HI All

I am facing an issue in a  file transfer job which is running through a file watcher event.Once the files at source location crosses 1000,file watcher could not trigger the job throwing the below error

2021-05-04 18:03:13 - U02000121 File limit ('1000') for file event ('163142972') has been exceeded.

As a workaround i have reduced the file stability time feature in file watcher event from 1 hour to 30 minutes.Do i need to reduce further or any other solution for this issue would be highly appreciated. Awaiting response.

Regards
Ranjan

We solved almost the same issue with max jcl lines in the preprocess tab. Change the number accordingly to what you need and see if that helps.....

:PUT_ATT MAX_JCL_LINES = 500000

This setting can be controlled within the UC_HOSTCHAR_* variable in client 0 with the key MAX_FILE_COUNT. 

https://docs.automic.com/documentation/webhelp/english/AA/12.3/DOCU/12.3/Automic%20Automation%20Guides/help.htm#AWA/Variables/UC_HOSTCHAR_DEFAULT.htm#link26

As you can see in the documentation the maximum value can be raised to 100000. It can be either raised globally for all of the agents or only for some selected ones by creating additional UC_HOSTCHAR_{SOME NAME} variable.
