Scheduling Transfer Delays

At certain times of the day, you may want to reduce AIM transfer speeds to preserve throughput for other online operations. By scheduling (or throttling) the AIM transfer, you can set delays between file transfers during specified times of the day. Unscheduled time, by default, is not delayed.

Several transfer delay schedules may be entered.  If schedules have time overlaps, the last scheduled time takes top priority.

To schedule a delay during AIM Transfer:

  1. In AIM Source Manager, select AIM Destination Servers in the console tree.

  2. In the right pane, select the appropriate destination  pane. and choose Transfer Schedule from the context menu.

  3. The schedule is based on hours and minutes. In the Transfer Schedule dialog box, enter the following information:

    1. Start time ( hh:mm) – Time when the transfer schedule should begin in 24-hour format.

    2. Stop Time ( hh:mm) – Time when the transfer schedule should end in 24-hour format.

    3. Delay (sec) – Number of seconds to delay each file transfer during the designated time. A maximum of 1800 seconds can be entered.

  4. Click Add/Edit. The entry will appear in the Transfer Schedule list. Continue making entries as needed.

  5. Click OK when entries have all been added.
