File Transfer Global Settings

Platform Transfer Client Utility utilizes the Global.xml file to hold parameters that are required for all commands.

By setting these values in the global, it eliminates the need to specify them each time you run the utility. The following command line parameters might be configured in the Global.xml file:
  • Service: The URL of the Platform Transfer Client Utility service.
  • U: The user ID under which the utility changes will be performed.
  • P: The password for the user ID.
  • KN: The Java keystore name.
  • KP: The Java keystore password.
  • TKN: The trusted Java keystore name.
  • TKP: The trusted Java keystore password.
  • AD: The audit directory.
You can configure the administrator global settings in following steps:
  1. To edit the Global.xml file, you can use following editors:
    • For Windows: Notepad
    • For UNIX: vi
  2. To add the service address, locate the following lines in the Global.xml file. 
    <!-- default service address -->
<msg name="service" value=""/>
  3. Modify the value attribute to specify the location of your service.

    For example: 

    <!-- default service address -->
<msg name="service" value="https://MFT Command Center.MYCOMPANY.COM:8443/cfcc/control?view=services/FTService"/>
    Note: Make sure that the service address is added between the double quotation marks (“).
  4. Repeat these changes for the audit directory, user ID, password, keystore name, keystore password, trusted keystore, and trusted keystore password.

    For example: 

    <!-- default user id -->
<msg name="userid" value="admin"/>
<!-- default user pwd -->
<msg name="userpwd" value="admin"/>
<!-- default java keystore name -->
<msg name="jksname" value="D:\keystore\mykeystore.jks"/>
<!-- default java keystore password -->
<msg name="jkspwd" value="changeit"/>
<!-- default trusted java keystore name -->
<msg name="trustedjksname" value="D:\keystore\cacerts"/>
<!-- default trusted java keystore password -->
<msg name="trustedjkspwd" value="changeit"/>
<!-- default audit directory -->
<msg name="auditdirectory" value=""/>
  5. If you do not want clear text passwords stored in the Global.xml file, you can use TIBCO MFT Command Center Config Utility to generate encrypted keys in this file.
