Test the Complete File Transfer Pathway

At this point, Don has created a Job that monitors the Reports directory on an internal server and transfers PDF files from this server to a Reports directory on the Transfer Site server. He has also configured a Transfer Site that makes these files available to Joe. In this test you'll trigger this series of events by adding a new PDF file to the scanned directory.

Before you begin

  • Confirm that your Reports Job is enabled and set to scan every minute.

Confirm that new reports are available to the customer

  1. On the Reports server, put a new *.pdf file in c:\reports.

  2. After a few minutes, check the email address you used for Don. Look for the Job Success notification that indicates that the new file triggered a successful Job.

  3. Log into an SFTP Client using the command sftp joe@localhost. Provide Joe's password when prompted. Once authenticated you can view and download the file.

Note

The email notification can be configured to reflect the public host name of the SFTP proxy server. Open the file <install-directory>\Micro Focus\ReflectionGateway\GatewayAdministrator\conf\container.properties and edit the property proxy.host.name=localhost to reference the fully qualified DNS host name of the SFTP proxy server.

For example: proxy.example.com
