Configuring and Managing DNI Daemons

DNI (or pDNI) is a Perl based event-driven process that performs file transfers when it detects that a file has been created or modified. DNI typically performs transfers using a Platform Server Command (ftmscmd, cfsend, and cfrecv). It can also be configured to execute a script to perform a file transfer using SCP or some other file transfer script. DNI can also be configured to receive files from MFT Internet Server through the FTP protocol.

DNI can perform transfers in the following ways:

Transfer Option Description
DNI Send Send a file to a partner Internet Server or Platform Server when a file is created or modified.
DNI Receive Receive a file from a partner Internet Server or Platform Server when a file is created or modified.
FTP Receive Receive a file from a partner Internet Server using the FTP protocol when a file is created or modified.

This section shows how to set up DNI and how to configure DNI from the Command Center. To learn how DNI can be configured to send files to and receive files from, Internet Server transfer partners using SFTP (or any other protocol), see Using DNI to Send and Receive files to Internet Server partners.

Note: Managing DNI is only supported on Command Center. It is not supported on the Internet Server.

DNI templates can be managed by Command Center or you can configure and start the templates manually on the server where DNI is executing. This guide explains how to manage the templates through Command Center.
