Publication Service - SFT Tab

The SFT tab is available only for Simple File Transfer mode.

The SFT tab contains the following fields:
Field Description
Transmission Buffer Size The buffer size to use for each data message chunk. The default value is 32.
Progress File Name This parameter is optional. When the progress filename is blank, Publication Service does not restart from where it is suspended. When the progress filename is specified, Publication Service continues to process from where it is suspended.

The default progress filename is __InstanceNameServiceName.prg

When a path name is not specified as part of the progress filename, the progress file is created in the directory, which is specified in the Progress Directory field of the Processing tab.

Note: The progress filename is specified in the LATIN_1 or ASCII character set only.
File Transfer Mode Two methods of transferring files are available:
  • Binary

    This mode is used for transferring any type of files, and the file contents must not be altered during file transfer.

  • Text

    This mode is used to transfer text files. When transferring files across platforms, the file created on the receiving platform might be altered to reflect the platform characteristics. For example, if a text file is transferred from Windows NT to Unix, the \r\n is replaced by \n and vice versa.
