OFTP Activities
Properties Configuration Settings
The OFTP Activity adds OFTP send and receive capabilities to your WorkFlow.
Remarks
The OFTP, or Odette File Transfer Protocol, Activity adds a complete OFTP client to your WorkFlow that enables it with file download and upload capability.
OFTP Receive Activity
The OFTP Receive Activity requires certain server properties be set. You must set the OFTPServer property to the remote location of the desired OFTP server. You may also set an OFTPPort if the server is not set to the default protocol port. For client authorization, you must set the ClientSSIDCode, ClientSFIDCode, and ClientPassword properties. And, for server authentication, you must set the ServerSSIDCode, ServerSFIDCode, and ServerPassword properties.
The activity will connect to the OFTP server every PollingInterval and download all files in the server's outgoing queue, and submit these to the WorkFlow as individual messages.
OFTP Send Activity
The OFTP Send Activity also requires certain server properties be set. You must set the OFTPServer property to the remote location of the desired OFTP server. You may also set an OFTPPort if the server is not set to the default protocol port. For client authorization, you must set the ClientSSIDCode, ClientSFIDCode, and ClientPassword properties. And, for server authentication, you must set the ServerSSIDCode, ServerSFIDCode, and ServerPassword properties.
The activity will connect to the OFTP server whenever it has a message to send. The activity will attempt to upload the file to the server. It uses the name specified by VirtualFileName when sending to the server. If this is not specified, the temporary filename will be used.
Please refer to the section on adapter configuration for a description of how to configure receive locations and send ports for this adapter.
