I am using FME Flow 2021.2.

Is there a way to change the Directory Watch Poll Interval in an Automation to trigger only Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.?

I think, within the Automation trigger, no, you can only specify the polling interval.

You could look at active periods in your engine assignment rules and have a period that only assigns engines to that queue during those hours. This will mean:

  1. There needs to be a job routing rule that routes that workspace to a specific queue
  2. The jobs will get submitted, and sit in a queue until the active period begins
