odifilewait waits forever if timeout is set to 0
787752Feb 3 2011 — edited Feb 3 2011we have a package in which the first step is odifilewait. It is supposed to wait for the file in a shared drive location(which is not local to the server where ODI is running the job from). The scenario for the package is scheduled to start running at a specified time everyday.
When run manually, it runs fine.(which means it can connect to the shared drive from the server location).
When the scheduler picks it up, if the timeout setting is '0', it seems to wait for the file forever-even though the file gets to the location in about 5 minutes.
If I set the timeout to a different number, it doesnt wait for the file at all. Even if the file is not there, it goes ahead and continues to the next step.
Anybody use odifilewait with scheduler-what are your suggestions?
Thanks,
Sujani
