Hi, I wanted to get a clearer picture on how does falcon handle late arrivals? Does it wait for the specific feed instance for cut off time before failing or would it look for all files in the time interval (current - cut off) to (current).Consider the following 2 scenarios, I'd like to know which one corresponds with falcon: There's a feed set up for replication with a frequency of 10 minutes and the late arrival cut off time is set to be an hour. Scenario 1 : A feed instance runs at 17:30 for replication but a file ending in 1730 isn't available yet. So, the instance is rescheduled for a later time and this keeps on happening until the file is found or the late arrival cut off time (an hour in this case) is reached. In latter case, the replication job fails. Scenario 2: A feed instance runs at 17:30 for replication and finds that a file ending in 1720 is now available which wasn't available when the last replication instance ran(at 17:20). So, now it copies both the files (the one ending in 1730 and the one ending in 1720).
I'm inclined to believe that scenario 1 corresponds with Falcon, however I want to confirm that I'm not missing anything.In case, it is Scenario 2, how does falcon keep track of what files have been copied? Your help is much appreciated. Thanks. Regards, Mahak Mukhi
