MFT ServerRequired-TextUDMG Server URL. This is the URL for the REST API endpoint, the port is configured in the UDMG Server configuration file.
For example: http://localhostudmg.stonebranch.com:8080/api
MFT CredentialsRequired-CredentialsUDMG Server Credentials. The Credentials definition should be as follows.
  • User Name as "Runtime User".
  • User Password as "Runtime Password".
The user must have read permissions for rules and partners, read/write permission for transfers
Source FileRequired-TextThe name of file,
  • local file for PUT
  • remote file for GET
  • wildcard pattern for local files
  • wildcard pattern for remote files

Target File

Introduced in version 1.1.0

Optional-TextThe name of file on the target system after the transfer,
  • remote file for PUT
  • local file for GET
  • not used for MGET and MPUT
PartnerRequired-Dynamic ChoiceDynamically fetched list of partner names.
The list is restricted to the partners that support the selected Protocol. The user can select the required partner name from a drop-down list.
RuleRequired-Dynamic ChoiceDynamically fetched list of transfer rules.

Wait for Transfer Completion

Introduced in version 1.2.0

RequiredTrueBoolean

By checking this field, the extension monitors the completion of the transfer on UDMG before completing its execution.

  • Actions PUT/GET: Wait for the single transferred to be completed.

  • Actions MPUT/MGET: Wait for the child file transfers to be completed or not. The extension will always wait for the parent process to be completed successfully, regardless of this configuration attribute.

Polling IntervalOptional5IntegerThe amount of time (in seconds) the task will wait before polling to check the transfer status.
Valid values from 0.

Max Files to Monitor

Introduced in version 1.2.0

Required100Integer

The number of files, above which no monitor will be done, apart from the successful trigger of the file transfer.

In practice this means that for the actions MGET & MPUT, if a wildcard transfer results in more child transfers than the number indicated, the extension will not check the transfer status of these files, and proceed to completion with a special return code (see corresponding section in this document).
