Interpel directory scanning

Problem

- scanning
- directory
- files



Is Directory scanning feature available in any version of InterPel


Resolution

No, Interpel never had any Directory Scanning functionalities (as Gateway does). Not integrated into the product, at least.



Work-around that has been used are for instance a batch file (script) which is launched by the system''s scheduler (AT for Windows or crontab for Unix, which launches a script every nn minutes and checks a directory. If file(s) is/are present, move them out of there (to prevent finding them again upon a next scan) and launch a "peltrans" command to submit the transfer request to Interpel.



Note at the same time that "peltrans" uses IPC''s and *may* time-out or obtain a negative answer, this possibility should be included in the to-be-written script and re-submit
