Invoke-RestMethod

[Andy Reimer]

*** Can't edit the title of this, but this has nothing to do with Inoke-RestMethod.  That was a copy/paste error ***

I was sure I knew were to find this, but now I'm at a loss.  I want to change the number of seconds a system agent waits between monitoring for files.

This documentation says the "The agent uses the watch_interval as the polling interval for all subsequent scans." but I can't find any place that says where the watch_interval is actually set.

Anyone know?

Hi Andy,

It is a parameter defined in file watcher jobs (in this case Autosys scheduler):

Please take a look at the following articles:

Right, I forgot Autosys and DE use the same system agent, and as such the documentation could refer to either.  Is there a way to change the interval in DE?

HI Andy, 
There is a way to change it for the agent as a whole. See the notes below. I am not sure if this is what you are looking for.

Specifies the time, in milliseconds (ms), a Monitoring job uses as the polling interval for file monitoring. Specify no less than 1000 ms.

Default:

 30000 (30 seconds)

Thanks, I believe that is exactly what I was looking for, as long as it applies to File Triggers as well as File Monitors.  I'm trying to shorten the window between a file being dropped on a server and an APPL being triggered via a File Trigger.

The documentation implies this is for Monitor jobs and doesn't explicitly mention triggers.

Hi Andy, 
This will also work for file triggers.  
Just a thought.  To reduce the trigger time to almost nothing, have the application issue a trigger command to dSeries.
