Use this procedure if you want to disable a hot folder, but you do not want to delete it so that it may be used at a later date.
Make sure that the hot folder is not processing files. If you disable a hot folder that is still processing files, any unfinished processes end with an error.
Note: This topic is about job hot folders. If you want to work with smart hot folders, see Smart hot folders.
