Transfer Using Nodes

Using pre-defined node definitions for remote systems, you do not have to constantly provide information to TIBCO MFT Platform Server when conducting transfers with remote systems. We suggest using node and profile definitions to pre-define the connectivity and authentication parameters. This makes the product more secure and less prone to errors.

The settings for each remote system are stored in a clear text file named cfnode.cfg located in the $CFROOT/config directory. Once a node definition is created, you can specify the name of the node to perform a transfer as opposed to using numerous transfer parameters to get the same results from a file transfer. TIBCO MFT Platform Server checks the definition for the specified node to obtain the required parameters to perform a transfer.
