File Pattern

Determines which files should be processed for the specific download. If the exact file name is known, that can be entered. If the exact file name is not known, or if there are multiple files, a regular expression search pattern can be entered (for example, "^EmpDown$" processes only the file name EmpDown, while "\.txt$" processes all files with a “.txt” extension). The file pattern should be set to "^" to indicate all files in the folder.

Timeout (Minutes)

Determines how long a task may run on the agent subsystem before it is marked as timed out on the request history table. The task will continue to run on the agent subsystem after that time is reached.

This feature is used to mark the request as timed out so that other processes that are waiting for it can continue. For example, the Close Pay Period cannot go through if there are any downloads in progress. Users may subscribe to a notification in the system to receive an email or portal message that a timeout has occurred.

Hint: The value specified for this would be dependent on the client and how long a download is expected to take. This value could be set to 1.5-2 times the expected amount of time for the average download to complete for that client.
