Defines the minimum number of bytes transferred before Control-M for MFT checks if the file is static.

File size information for remote file systems is not supported.

This feature is not supported on OS400, Tandem, MVS, OpenVMS, and OS2200 when the connection type is FTP.

Maximum time to wait

Determines the number of minutes to wait, in the Time Limit field, for a file to reach its minimum detected size and remains static, according to the values defined in the Configuration Management window, as described in Configuring Control-M for MFT parameters.

If the value is 0, the file waits indefinitely.

Wait until

Determines the specific time, in the Time Limit field, that a file has to reach its minimum detected size and remains static, according to the values defined in the Configuration Management window, as described in Configuring Control-M for MFT parameters, before the watch fails
