In Is Active Data Source, select the Active check box to set the adapter to read entries from the data source. When this check box is cleared the adapter does not run the data source interface and skips to the next data source interface.
In After processing, select the way the adapter handles the source file.
When the file is created for the adapter only and it can be deleted after processing select Delete file. The file is renamed to the Work file name, processed and then deleted.
Select Keep file to have the file copied and have the processing performed in the copied file. If new records append this file, the adapter copies these new records to the work file in the next cycle. If new records do not append the file, the adapter searches for the first file with the same pattern and a name greater (in lexicographic order) than the current file. If the adapter finds such a file it starts working on this file. The adapter does not go back to the previous file even if new records append this file.
In Initial file name, type the first file name from which the adapter searches for a file with the given pattern. Use this attribute when the Name pattern field contains wildcards and the adapter should not read old files. This field is enabled only when After processing is set to Keep file.
Note: The adapter uses this value only during its first run or after the Data Source Control file was erased.
In Check new data every, type a positive integer value for the number of seconds the adapter waits before testing if there is new data to be gathered.
Click Save.
The Adapter Wizard page Data Source Interface step opens.
