Setting
up a File-system target
A File-system target polls a directory according to a
set interval to look for new documents.
The following steps describe what you need to specify for a file-system
target.
- Click Hub Admin > Hub Configuration > Targets to
display the Targets List page.
- From the Target List page, click Create Target.
Target Details
In the Target Details section, perform
the following steps:
- Type a name for the target. For example, you might call the
target FileTarget1. This is a required field. The name you enter
here will be displayed on the Targets list.
- Optionally indicate the status of the target. Enabled is
the default. A target that is enabled is ready to accept documents.
A target that is disabled cannot accept documents.
- Optionally enter a description of the target.
- Select File Directory from the Transport list.
Target Configuration
In the Target Configuration section
of the page, perform the following steps:
- Optionally indicate the gateway type. The gateway type defines
the nature of the transmission. For example, if you want to test
a document exchange before putting it into production, you would
enter Test. The default is Production.
- Enter a value for Document Root Path to
indicate the directory where the documents will be received.
- Optionally enter a value for Poll Interval,
to indicate how often the directory should be polled for new documents.
If you do not enter anything, the directory will be polled every
5 seconds.
- Optionally, enter a value for File Unchanged Interval to
indicate the number of seconds the file size must remain unchanged
before the Document Manager retrieves the document for processing.
This unchanged interval period ensures that a document has completed
its transmission (and is not still in transit) when the Document
Manager retrieves it. The default value is 3 seconds.
- Optionally enter a value for Thread Nbr,
to indicate the number of documents the Document Manager can process
simultaneously. The default value of 1 is recommended.
Handlers
If you will be receiving files containing multiple EDI
interchanges or XML or ROD documents that need to be split, configure
the appropriate splitter handler in the Preprocess configuration
point.
To modify the Preprocess configuration point, go to Modifying configuration points. Otherwise, click Save.
