Hi Kaushik,
For picking up the file file ready folder you need to do the following steps:
1) Creation of users and assinging password to the users.
2) Creation of maps in import manager for importing the data.
3) Creation of ports. In this you have to mention map name which you have made for importing the data, format of the file present in ready folder and your processing type as automatic.
4) Mention user name and password in the MDIS.ini file. Also mention the time interval.Save this file.
Now you can find that import server is picking up the data from ready folder.
