Simple file transfer

Also known as a simple variant of the MFT1)

For a simple file transfer without transforming, only a few eBiss components are needed.

  1. Message box
    It is advisable to also create a separate message box for a specific data link, because the files to be fetched from a receive channel must be stored somewhere in between.
  2. Receive channel
    This can be any reception channel. This uses the message box created under point 1.
  3. Send channel
    The transmission channel can also be of any type.2)
  4. Workflows
    In this case, a job definition only requires a ChannelReceiver, ChannelSender and possibly a TaskNotificator. These job objects are then simply connected in series and set with the correct communication channels. So:
    1. ChannelReceiver with input channel as defined under point 2.
    2. ChannelSender with transmit channel as defined under point 3.
    3. optional: TaskNotificator with SMTP channel for task notifications.
  5. Automation
    If the process is to be automated, a time-controlled automation is set up for the job defined in point 4.
2)
Since the mask requires a message box(although obsolete in the sending process), the message basket specified under point 1 should also be selected here.
