OS4X Enterprise - internal job handling
OS4X Enterprise offers a functionality to create internal send jobs locally in your OS4X environment without the need sending files via the OFTP protocol. This is convenient if you are transferring files within your company or if you have made your OS4X available for third-party users, like an external company which is using your OS4X Webaccess.
In order to achieve that, you will need to set up a new plugin group and configure it at destination level.
Requirements
For this feature, you will need:
- OS4X Enterprise Lite license
- OS4X Release 2015-03-31 or newer installed
Configuration
Plugin groups
All logic in sending internal jobs is done via special plugin groups.
Send plugin group
Select Plugin groups in your OS4X admin-interface and create a new plugin group. You also may clone your default send plugin group and remove all the unnecessary entries which are used for OFTP transmission (like enqueueing plugins, ENGDAT handling etc.):
Optionally, you also can set up an e-mail notification or transmission PDF plugin, if you want to keep the sender and/or recipient informed. Close the windows by clicking on save afterwards.
Receive plugin group
If you want to keep both the files of your send and receive jobs in your directories (beware: this doubles your data consumption), you also can set up a plugin group for incoming internal jobs. Select Plugin groups in your OS4X admin-interface and edit the plugin group for your incoming jobs (default: "receive - mail to recipient").
Partner administration
In the next step go to the partner administration and edit an existing entry. You are not required to fill out all fieldsets - some of them can be omitted, like the OFTP credentials:
Send plugin group
Select the "internal send plugin group" (created above) for your send jobs in the fieldset "OS4X Enterprise / Plugin groups". Now you are prepared to transfer files locally on your server, using an internal send job process.
Receive plugin group
This optional step is needed if you want to keep the files for both incoming and outgoing jobs in separate directories. However, this is not mandatory. If you opt not to choose that, you will only have your files in your sending jobs folder.
After that, click on the configure button and activate the following checkboxes of the plugin "copy plugin":
- Don't add "copy" attribute
- Only copy if job is internal
