OS4X Core event scripts

The scripting interface gives you the possibility to start processes during an OFTP connection like managing an EDM system, sending confirmation eMails, deleting files, etc. The scripts have all information available as parameters at this point of time the script will be started.

The scripts are defined via web interface. This configuration is stored in the database, which will be read by every binary on startup and on every configuration reload. If a script is unavailable or not runnable (i.e. execute permissions are missing, user has no read permissions etc.), the script will not be started.

The following virtual filenames are reserved and therefor no "normal" script will be run on these files (send, receive, xERP & block):

• ODETTE_CERTIFICATE_REQUEST: OFTP2 automatic certificate exchange request
• ODETTE_CERTIFICATE_DELIVER: OFTP2 automatic certificate exchange delivery
• ODETTE_CRL_REQUEST: OFTP2 automatic certificate revocation list request
• ODETTE_CRL_DELIVER: OFTP2 automatic certificate revocation list delivery
• OS4X_UPDATE: OS4X update package
