Hi,

I am trying to understand the sliding wait feature dealing with trigger dependencies.

Here is my scenario:

trigger 1 - time trigger - run every 15 minutes between 2:00 and 8:00
trigger 2 - remote file trigger - watch for created files, wait for file being released, check every 300 seconds


My goal is for the job to run every 15 minutes if new files exist. What I ran into was the job running at 11:00 because I was using the default of an infinite wait time. The time trigger last fired at 8:00 when there were no files. The file trigger fired at 11:00 when a file appeared. The infinite wait allowed the job to run based on the two triggers.

I think I can make this work by setting the wait time to 15 or 16 minutes, but I think the sliding wait may be a better option. However I am still a bit confused on exactly how sliding wait works.

Can somebody clarify, possibly with an example?
