File ready check

The file ready check feature allows you to choose the method you want VIPO to use to determine if a file is ready for use in a VIPO application. Using this feature prevents problems that may occur when the WFC encounters a file that may not be ready for submission. For example, a very large file that is still being transferred or copied from a remote location or files being built “on the fly” by an automated process.

The File Ready Check button invokes this dialog:

The dialog offers two choices to check for file readiness before a file is actually picked up for job submission:

•Check for Existence of Flag File — Used to directly signal the WFC when a file is ready for job submission by creating a “flag” file. The flag file is an empty file you create. In addition to having the same name as the job file, this file must have the additional extension: ._File_Ready_For_Submission_.

Thus, the flag file for myVIProject.vpc, becomes: myVIProject.vpc._File_Ready_For_Submission_

You must create the flag file associated with the job file in the watched folder after the file is ready for submission. If no flag file is found while this option is active, the job file will not be processed for job submission and is ignored by the file search at every watch interval.

•Check for File Size Changes — This is the default setting in which the WFC checks and monitors changes in the file size at every watch interval. If the size of the file to be submitted does not change at all within the specified period of time, the file is considered to be ready for job submission and is processed at that time, whether or not a flag file exists. The range of time is from 5 to 1800 seconds, the default threshold is 120 seconds.
