Creating or Editing an FTP endpoint
FTP endpoints provide the connection information that Studio
and the Integration Appliance use to connect to FTP Servers.
Configuring the FTP endpoint for the Parse Directory Listing Example
To run the Parse Directory Listing Example in your environment,
configure the values of the configuration properties used by the FTP
Endpoint to point to your FTP Server. In addition, your FTP Server
must produce the directory listing in the same format as expected
by the Flat File Schema.
FTP Poll Directory activity
During run time, the FTP Poll Directory activity connects
to an FTP Server and polls for the existence of the specified file
or files at the specified location. After reading the contents of
the file or files and mapping the contents into variable or variables
of the orchestration, the FTP Poll Directory activity may delete
the file or files, move the file or files, or leave the file or files
in the directory of the FTP Server.
FTP Put File activity
During run time, the FTP Put File activity takes
data from variables of the orchestration, places the data into a file,
and connects to an FTP Server and places the file in the specified
directory location.
FTP Get File activity
During run time, the FTP Get File activity connects
to an FTP Server and attempts to get a single file at the specified
location. You can configure the FTP Get File activity to return
the contents of the file into a variable of the orchestration. In
addition, you can configure the FTP Get File activity to return
the timestamp of the file returned by the FTP Server into a variable
of the orchestration.
FTP Delete File activity
Use the the FTP Delete File activity to delete specific
files from the specific directories, during run time.
FTP List Files activity
During run time, the FTP List Files activity connects
to an FTP Server and generates a list of files from the specified
directory location using the specified regular expression. The FTP
List Files activity returns the list of files to the orchestration
using either the directoryListing or fileListing output
parameter.
FTP Rename File activity
Use the FTP Rename File activity to rename and/or
move a file to a different directory, during run time.
Parse directory listing example
This example gets a directory listing from and FTP directory
using the FTP List Files activity, parses the long directory
listing using Flat File Scheme, iterates through the list of files,
based on the properties of each file.
Testing an FTPS server connection
After successfully running a "test connection", you can
use Studio verify tools on FTPS orchestrations before publishing a
project.
