Automation of BO Report Scheduling

Question

Hello,
I need to automate the process of bi report scheduling using File Based events , following are steps which i followed:
1) In CMC i created a file event named Trigger.txt and gave the path D:\BO_Events\Trigger.txt.
2) Then i right clicked on my web i report and selected schedule.
3) In recurrence i selected the number of retries as 20 and and interval to be 60 secs.
4) Then under Events tab i selected available events to be Trigger.
5) The same i did in the default settings and saved all the settings.
6) Then i mannualy created one text file named Trigger and saved it in the assigned location.
7)Then under the history of instances ,i did not see any instances created.
8) Again when i mannually scheduled it , the status remained to be pending.
9) After which i deleted the file from the location and again created it, then on refreshing the instances the report was scheduled successfully.
Am i missing any steps in this process ,since i need the report to identify the trigger file by itself and schedule it .
Also i read in some other blogs where it suggested that if the trigger file is already  present in the folder the report would not start scheduling i.e. when the instance status is pending only then the trigger file should come in the specified folder.
Which might not be possible since in our system the trigger file is dependent on some other process .
Hence there is no specific time where trigger file would come inside the folder.
Please help.

Hi Arjit
Please refer point no.3 in the first post .I have set the number of retries to be 20 and interval of 60 secs. And yes ,the event job server is working properly.
Please tell me if i have missed something.
