Configure an FTP Connector to Transfer a File from the AIS Server to an External Server

  1. Click the Connectors icon on the Orchestrator Studio Home page.

  2. On the Connectors side panel, click the New drop-down menu and select FTP.

  3. Create and name the connector service request as described in Creating a Component.

  4. On the Connectors design page, click the FTP field and select a connection to the server from which you want to transfer a file.

    If no connections are available for an FTP connector, ask your system administrator to create one. See Creating a Soft Coding Record for an FTP Server Connection

  5. Select the File option.

  6. Click the Type drop-down list and select Send.

  7. In the Source File Name field, enter the name of the file that you want to transfer.

  8. Click the Use Temporary File Location check box if the file you want to send is in the temporary directory on the AIS Server.

    Note:

    Starting with Tools Release 9.2.9.3, the Restrict Orchestration File Access to Temporary Directory setting is available in EnterpriseOne Server Manager. This is a systemwide setting and is turned on by default. When this setting is on, the Use Temporary File Location checkbox will be turned on and grayed out, which means that your orchestrations will be restricted to reading from and writing to the AIS temporary directory. Contact your system administrator to change this setting in Server Manager.

    Since Send was selected in the Type field, the Use Temporary File field applies to the file that you want to send.

  9. In the Target File Name field, enter the name of the target file that will be created on the FTP server.

  10. In the Path Extension field, enter the name of the subdirectory on the third-party FTP server where you want the file output to be sent.

  11. Enable or disable the Remove Source File toggle. This toggle is enabled by default, and removes the file from the temporary location on the AIS Server after the file is transferred to an external server.

  12. Click Save.
