Enabling a Production to Retrieve Files

Enabling a Production to Retrieve Files

To enable a production to retrieve files from an MFT service:

1. From the Production Configuration page, add a business service based on the class EnsLib.MFT.Service.PassthroughOpens in a new tab.

2. Configure the following items for this business service:

   • MFT Connection Name — Specifies the MFT connection to use.

   • MFT Source Folders — Specifies the top-level sending directory at the MFT service, such as /Outgoing

   • Files to Retrieve — Optionally specifies a regular expression for the names (types) of files to retrieve. An empty value means all files.

   • Include Sub Folders — Specifies whether the production should recursively examine all subfolders.

   • Delete From Server — Specifies whether items successfully imported from the MFT service should be removed from there after completion. The options are:

     • No — Default value. Do not remove the item. Only keep track of the last date and time of import.

     • Trash — Causes the MFT service to delete the item. In this case, the MFT service moves the item to a trash folder where it places all deleted items. Depending on the MFT service, items in this trash folder may be recoverable manually for a period of time, so consult the documentation for the MFT service for specifics.

     • Permanent — Causes the MFT service to permanently delete the items that have been successfully received by the production.

   • Find ModifiedBy Username — Specifies whether the production should also retrieve the user who last modified the file at the MFT service.

   • Call Interval — Specifies how frequently (in seconds) the production should check for new files. The default value is 5 seconds.

   • Target Config Names — Specifies a comma-separated list of business hosts to which this business service should send information.
