Applies to: All versions of Ephesoft Transact

Issue

After dropping new files into the Transact watch folder, it may take some time for the system to generate batch subfolders, and the system may fail to add batch subfolders to a batch instance. Restarting Transact causes new files and batch instances to be immediately picked up.

Solution

To resolve this issue, you will need to enable the folder monitor cron job. Follow the steps below to enable the folder monitor cron job.

1. Stop Ephesoft Transact.
2. Open the folder-monitor.properties file, located at [Ephesoft_Directory]\Application\WEB-INF\classes\META-INF\dcma-folder-monitor.
3. Change the jnotify_switch to false to turn off the folder monitor jNotify switch. This will enable the cron job. The jnotify_switch should now read as follows:
   foldermonitor.jnotify_switch=false
4. Start Ephesoft Transact.
