The trigger files for the batches must have this extension in order to be recognized by the collector as ready for import. | |
During import, the trigger files for the batches get this extension. | |
If the import was successful, the trigger files for the batches get this extension. | |
If the import was not successful, the trigger files for the batches get this extension. | |
The maximum number of batches the collector should import from this source before switching to the next source. Zero means no limit; batches are imported from this source until none remain. | |
The source is active only if the XBOUND Collect Service is configured for an area. (See Limiting the data that a collector processes for details.) If there is no area configured for the Collect Service, do not specify one here. | |
