Add an Action that Transfers Files

To add a Job action that Transfers Files

1. If you are not still logged in, log into Gateway Administrator as Don.

2. From the Jobs page, select the Reports Job and click Edit.

3. Under Actions, from the Add action... list, select Transfer file.

4. For From, leave the default values.

5. For To, select the name of your Transfer Site file server and enter the following path:

   /Gateway/Reflection/Reports/$RELATIVE_FILE_NAME$

   The first part of the path (/Gateway/Reflection) identifies the Transfer Site base directory you specified for this server. Putting files in a subdirectory of this directory will enable you to create a Transfer Site later for exchanging these files.

   

   Click OK to return to the New Job page.

Test your modified Job

1. On the Reports server, copy one or more *.pdf files to c:\reports or update the existing files.

   NOTE:To facilitate testing, you can quickly update your files from a Command Window using the copy command with the syntax shown here:

   C:\reports> copy /b *.pdf +,,
   test.pdf 
   test2.pdf
           2 file(s) copied.

2. In Gateway Administrator, go to the Jobs page, select the Report Job and click Edit.

3. Click Run Now to test the action. You’ll see a Running Job message. You can close this message at any time; it has no effect on execution of Job actions.
