PC DirSync: IdleTime Will Not Work if External Is Idle Process

ID: Q130978

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, versions 3.2, 3.2a, 3.5

SUMMARY

You can not use the IdleTime parameter with Dispatch if you are running the Mail External program (EXTERNAL.EXE) as an idle process.

MORE INFORMATION

When you run External as an idle process of Dispatch, Dispatch will automatically pass the IdleProcessMaxPeriod (-TU) parameter to External, which will display as the BreakRelative (-BR) command. Therefore, you cannot use the IdleTime (-N) parameter of Dispatch. If you do try to use the IdleTime parameter, you will get unpredictable results.

For additional information, please see version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks "Administrator's Guide" page 296.
