Setting the File Event Listener Engine

The File Event Listener Engine is configured in Data One.

Go to Setup > STENG, Clusters and Servers and click the NEW SERVER button.

In the Select the protocol of your new server window:

1. Click File Event Listener at the bottom.
2. Enter the Server Name and Description for the File Event Listener.
3. Select the Cluster, if more than one is available.
4. Click CONTINUE to view a recap and then SAVE to confirm the creation of the File Event Listener profile.
5. Once created, the File Event Listener status is set to STOP, so you must start it manually. If you have more than one peer, manually start the File Event Listener in every peer.

When done, the File Event Listener profile will appear in the dedicated PRIMEUR ENGINE tab.

Clicking the File Event Listener card, a panel with further information will appear in the top-right corner. In this panel, use the pencil icon to edit the server Description and Status.
If you need to delete the server, click the bin icon.
Only one File Event Listener Engine per STENG cluster can exist. If you try to create a second File Event Listener profile, an error message will appear warning you that the File Event Listener Engine profile already exists.
The File Event Listener Engine runtime behavior is active/passive: peers coordinate to elect the leader and ensure that at any given time just one peer holds the leader role and polls directories, while all other peers will stand-by, waiting to take over the role of leader in case the current leader has crashed or is shut down.

After setting the File Event Listener Engine

Creating, modifying, and deleting a File Event Listener Worker does not require the File Event Listener Engine to be restarted and does not impact other workers that continue to work normally.
