In the standalone Control-M File Watcher utility (ctmfw) there is an option  "Absolute stop time".
What is the equivalent option in Control-M for File Transfer (AFT) filewatcher jobs?

Legacy ID:KA387015

In your AFT job, click the Advanced button next to the file watcher entry. There, go to the File Watcher tab and you'll find these two options: "Time limit type" and "Time Limit".
Set the "Time limit type" option to "Wait until" and then fill in the end time you want in the format hhmm in the "Time Limit" field.

Example:

 
This example shows the end time for this AFT file watcher job has been set to 3pm.

Note: For FileWatcher jobs, the Absolute Stop Time is evaluated according to the Agent OS time despite if the job uses Time Zone.
