Polling importer not taking the latest updated time interval

I dont think your configuration is getting applied initially also. IIRC the default time is 300 sec, which is whats being used in your case all the time. Can you check if you have followed steps mentioned in Adobe Experience Manager Help | Creating Custom Data Importer Services for Adobe Experience Manager ?

If you did and still having issues, would be great if you can share a sample package with issue being reproducible.

The polling config created as per the example doesn't work at all in AEM 6.3 with Archetype 11. We have tested that extensively. Using sling folder as per this example worked.

Thats strange. i dont see a reason why it would depend on maven archetype. Anyway can share the code(github maybe) if you are still facing the issue that you mentioned?

Hi Vivek,

I used this code only

https://github.com/heervisscher/htl-examples/blob/master/core/src/main/java/com/adobe/examples/htl/core/polling/CustomPolling.java

The problem is I'm not able to add or edit anything here

localhost:4502/etc/importers/polling.html

Ideally we should be able to edit and add right?

I even overlayed as per the instructions here Creating a Custom Content Importer for AEM/CQ5 | Olson Digital

Have you tried adding or editing?

It's totally blocking us and seems like a bug in AEM 6.3

Ok... I tried it now.. I can see the importer running and when I change the interval from crx-de, it is reflected and polling happens:

Here is the Java file which is almost same as the one you linked above. :

--- Java class---

package eventhandler;

import org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.Component;

import org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.Property;

import org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.Service;

import org.apache.sling.api.resource.Resource;

import com.day.cq.polling.importer.ImportException;

import com.day.cq.polling.importer.Importer;

@Component(metatype = false, enabled = true, label = "Custom importer")

@Service
@Property(name = Importer.SCHEME_PROPERTY, value = "myimporter")

public class CustomPolling implements Importer, Runnable {

   @Override
   public void run() {

  System.out.println("In run-method");

  }

   @Override
   public void importData(String scheme, String dataSource, Resource target, String login, String password) throws ImportException {

  System.out.println("In importData1-method");

  }

   @Override
   public void importData(String scheme, String dataSource, Resource target) throws ImportException {

  System.out.println("In importData2-method");

  }

}

And polling config:

Does that help?

Thanks for the reply. I have come to know that minimum time interval is 300 sec. AEM doesn't allow below that. But the main issue is

in 6.3 we are not able to edit or add new configurations here

localhost:4502/etc/importers/polling.html

But it is possible in 6.2. This seems like a clear bug. Can you check it if you have 6.3 as well? smacdonald2008​, can you please help?

I will look into this. Stuff like should not be changed unless clearly stated in the Release Notes. Did you see mention of this?

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your reply. I have seen the release notes of 6.3 and there is no mention of polling feature. Can you please look into it?

Basically, I should be able to edit the timing interval here but its not possible in 6.3 but working very fine in 6.2.

It is throwing this error when I click on 'Edit'

I will see if I get the same results on 6.3.
