Enabling a Production to Send Files

Enabling a Production to Send Files

To enable a production to send files to an MFT service:

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

2. Configure the following items for this business operation:

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

   • Default MFT Folder — Specifies the top-level receiving directory at the MFT service, such as /Incoming

   • Default Filename Specification — Specifies an optional template for creating the name of the received file. See the method Ens.Util.File.CreateTimestamp() for documentation of the various options.

   • Overwrite — Specifies whether to overwrite any existing file with the same name as the one currently being sent. Some MFT services may automatically change the name of an incoming file to include a timestamp; in this case, the Overwrite may have no effect.

   For information on other settings, see Settings for the File Outbound Adapter.
