Input
For more information about mapping and transforming input data, see TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Process Design.
The input for the activity is the following.
Input Item |
Datatype |
Description |
RemoteFilename |
string |
The path and name of the file to retrieve from the remote server. Wildcards (? for any one character, * for one or more characters) are permitted in this field. You can specify an absolute or relative path for the remote file name. Relative paths are relative to the path specified in the RemoteDirectory element or the current directory, if RemoteDirectory is null. Note: Do not specify wildcards for this element if the Use Process Data Configuration field is checked.
|
LocalFileName |
string |
This input item is available only if the Use Process Data field on the Configuration tab is unchecked and only one remote file is retrieved. This input item specifies the name and path of the local file where the contents of the retrieved file should be written. If more than one remote file is retrieved, the local files are named to match the remote file names. |
Host |
string |
The name of the FTP server. This overrides the value specified in the FTP Connection resource. |
Port |
integer |
Port number for incoming FTP requests on the FTP server. This overrides the value specified in the FTP Connection resource. |
UserName |
string |
Username for logging into the FTP server. This overrides the value specified in the FTP Connection resource. |
Password |
string |
Password for logging into the FTP server. This overrides the value specified in the FTP Connection resource. |
Encoding |
string |
When the retrieved file is not binary and the Use Process Data field on the Configuration tab is checked, this specifies the character encoding of the retrieved file. If this is not specified, it is assumed that the encoding of the file is the same encoding of the machine where the FTP command is executed. If the encoding of the local machine and the FTP server are different, specify the encoding used by the FTP server in this element and the activity converts the retrieved file into the local machine’s encoding. |
Timeout |
integer |
The amount of time to wait for the FTP server to respond. This timeout is used when the FTP server places the FTP connection used by this activity into a waiting state. This overrides the value specified in the FTP Connection resource. For more information, see FTP Connection . |
