Overview

For integration of WLA / Job Scheduling with the UDM Gateway File Transfer solution. Universal Controller customers can implement the provided Universal Task.

  • Universal Task (requires Universal Controller version 6.7.0.0 or higher).
  • Uses the UDM Gateway Rest API (requires UDM Gateway Version 11 or higher).
  • Requires Python 3.6 or higher with the requests module installed. Tested with the Universal Agent bundled Python distribution.
  • Stdout returns information from the UDM Gateway. Stderr is used for messages from the Universal Task / Script itself.
  • You can set different log-levels, providing you more or less information to suit your needs.

The Universal Task can automate the following UDM Gateway functions:

  • PGP Encrypt
  • PGP Decrypt
  • Run a UDM Gateway Trigger
  • SFTP File Upload
  • SFTP File Download
  • Trading Partner File Upload
  • Trading Partner File Download
  • Trading Partner File Upload using a Regex or Generic Filename Pattern
  • Trading Partner File Download using a Regex or Generic Filename Pattern


The Universal Task performs the following:

  1. Login to UDM Gateway Server
  2. Check UDM Gateway Server Version
  3. Create Temporary UDM Gateway Trigger with a unique name to perform the desired action. Except Run Trigger which copies the existing trigger to the temporary trigger.
  4. Run Temporary UDM Gateway Trigger.
  5. Get Temporary UDM Gateway Trigger Status
  6. Delete Temp Trigger
  7. Retrieve Trigger Log
  8. Close UDM Gateway Session
