Overview

UDMG (Universal Data Mover Gateway) is a business-to-business MFT (Managed File Transfer) Solution. It provides the capabilities to securely manage File transfers with external business partners (i.e. Customers or Suppliers) and between any endpoint in today’s Hybrid-IT infrastructure, on-premises, or in the cloud (public and or private). It also comes up with a keystore for PGP public and private keys.

This Universal Extension provides the capability to perform OpenGPG encryption and decryption on files while keeping the PGP keys in the UDMG keystore.

UDMG OpenPGP v2 is a Major Version Update! Customers using UDMG OpenPGP should migrate to UDMG OpenPGP v2 to be properly supported. UDMG OpenPGP v2 when imported is not replacing UDMG OpenPGP allowing for a step-by-step migration of tasks in production systems.

Software Requirements

This integration requires a Universal Agent and a Python runtime to execute the Universal Task.

How To

Import Universal Template

To use the Universal Template, you first must perform the following steps.

  1. This Universal Task requires the Resolvable Credentials feature. Check that the Resolvable Credentials Permitted system property has been set to true.

  2. To import the Universal Template into your Controller, follow these instructions.

  3. When the files have been imported successfully, refresh the Universal Templates list; the Universal Template will appear on the list.

Modifications of this integration, applied by users or customers, before or after import, might affect the supportability of this integration. For more information refer to Integration Modifications.

Configure Universal Task

For a new Universal Task, create a new task, and enter the required input fields.

Integration Modifications

Modifications applied by users or customers, before or after import, might affect the supportability of this integration. The following modifications are discouraged to retain the support level as applied for this integration.

  • Python code modifications should not be done.

  • Template Modifications

    • General Section

      • "Name", "Extension", "Variable Prefix", and "Icon" should not be changed.

    • Universal Template Details Section

      • "Template Type", "Agent Type", "Send Extension Variables", and "Always Cancel on Force Finish" should not be changed.

    • Result Processing Defaults Section

      • Success and Failure Exit codes should not be changed.

      • Success and Failure Output processing should not be changed.

    • Fields Restriction Section
      The setup of the template does not impose any restrictions, however, concerning the "Exit Code Processing Fields" section.

      1. Success/Failure exit codes need to be respected.

      2. In principle, as STDERR and STDOUT outputs can change in follow-up releases of this integration, they should not be considered reliable sources for determining the success or failure of a task.

Users and customers are encouraged to report defects, or feature requests at Stonebranch Support Desk.
