Hello!

In FME Server 2017 when I create a publication with the directory watch protocol, there is a poll interval that let me choose how often I want to verify my path. If I put 1 (or any number) a hour or day or week, is there a way for me to know the exact time FME will proceed to this verification?

If I put 5 a week, how does FME manage the verification? 7 days divided by 5?

Would it be possible to create our own schedule? With CRON expression available, like in the workspace scheduler.

I read this but nothing about the time : Poll

Thanks a lot.

    I'm thinking that for very sporadic polling such as 5 times a week, I'd consider using the Scheduler with a small custom workspace rather than the directory watch publisher.

    If you to the custom workspace route, you could still continue using the notification service using the FMEServerNotifier at the end of the workspace to trigger your topic.
