Polling in general
"Polling" is the task of connecting to a defined partner by opening an OFTP session via the configured media (ISDN, TCP/IP or TCP/IP (TLS secured) in order to switch the order of "master-slave". If the partner supports this feature, he may send files or other OFTP messages (like EERP or NERP) during this session.
Polling partner via web interface
Click on the "poll" icon 
refering to the partner entry in the partner list. The binary "seonpoll" will be called with the appropriate parameters.
Polling via commandline
You may use the program "seonpoll" to do the poll manually. The online help assists you how to use this program, the return codes may help for analysis of the task.
Using the poll queue
The poll queue is an automated system using the Seon 2 Core send queue daemon to do the task of cyclic polls.
Keep in mind that for each poll an active OFTP transmission will be done by your system, so if you use i.e. ISDN lines, you pay for every established call!
The Seon poll queue is highly configurable doing polls. The configuration is done via web interface.
Displaying poll queue
On the left-hand menu, click on the "Poll queue" link. The following overview will be displayed:
The name of the parner entry is a link to its edit page.
inserting new poll queue item
In order to insert a new entry, click on the "Add" button 
. The following form will be shown:
The partner shortname pulldown list containt a list of all defined partners. The row "run every" defined in which intervals the poll should be executed. These polls will be started by the send queue daemon after each defined interval, but only after a defined time slice of the dameon. So, if you define a time slice for the send queue daemon of 60 seconds and configure a poll queue entry for each 10 seconds, a poll will be executed every 60 seconds.
An alternative SFID value can be ommitted for partner's SFID authorisation (which is mainly used in France).
The configurable server ID defines on which Seon cluster server the process will be run. In a non-cluster environment, don't touch this value.
After submitting the form, the new send queue entry is inserted.
deleting poll queue item
By clicking on the "delete" icon File:Delete.gif you will be asked to confirm the deletion of the entry.
After confirming, the entry will be removed. Active poll transfers are not affected.
