hi friends i am new to the webmethods,
what is meant by file polling why we use it,where we use it.

File polling port is configured from admin console
Used to polls for the file in the configured directory
Pls check software ag wM documentation

When we get files from business partner ( they ftp files into a directory).. so in your IS.., we have security->ports->filepolling so here we need to give some inputs..,like directory path and file type, service to invoke etc.. based upon the Dir path IS will monitor that path and when it comes to know that files that we are waiting for are present.., it picks that files and invokes the service..

thank u very much guys
