task manually. You can also schedule the task to run at a specific time or when a file is ready.
You can choose to receive notifications if the task fails and if the task detects infected files.
A
file ingestion
task can have multiple jobs. You can run multiple jobs simultaneously to enhance the performance and scalability of a file ingestion task. You can configure a
file ingestion
task to run multiple jobs concurrently or use the job resource of the Mass Ingestion Files REST API to run multiple jobs concurrently.
Running concurrent jobs might cause unexpected results if the targets include duplicate files.
You can run a batch of files or multiple batches in parallel to reduce the duration of processing a large number of files. The maximum number of batches you can run in parallel depends on the fmi-task-max-pool-size and mi-task-core-pool-size properties that you configure for the runtime environment in Administrator. The fmi-task-max-pool-size property determines the maximum number of threads to execute a file ingestion task. A thread count close to the maximum value of fmi-task-max-pool-size might impact the performance of other jobs running on the same Secure Agent.
